Originally built as a one room log schoolhouse the building was located at a popular Indian camping site on the trail over Mt. Hood. The school was later rebuilt and enlarged as more families moved into the area. From its beginning the building has served as a community center for many activities. Today the old school house fills the needs for Mt. Hood citizens as a social gathering place.
