Menomonee Falls in Waukesha County, Wisconsin — The American Midwest (Great Lakes)
Sunnyside School Bell Tower Replica
Sunnyside School, built in 1875, was located at the SW corner of the intersection of Main St. and Menomonee Ave. in Menomone Falls. It was a one-room school until the summer of 1952 when two new classrooms were added. It continued to be used as a school until 1961, and then was used for storage by the School District. When the school was demolished in 2014, the original Bell tower was rescued, brought to Old Falls Village, and used as a model for this replica.
