| Harrisburg School E7646 County Road B, Troy, Sauk County Date of Construction: 1892 The Harrisburg School, constructed in 1892, is a one-room schoolhouse which served Troy Township until it was closed in 1955 during the era of school consolidation in Wisconsin. The Harrisburg School retains the design characteristics of one-room schools including the simple gable form, wood clapboards and shingles, and a bell tower on the roof. One-room schoolhouses are becoming increasingly rare but intact examples such as this one preserve the history of education in rural communities. The school is owned by the Harrisburg-Troy Historical Society and is open to the public in the summer months. |
