Dillon SchoolhouseWhen you think of movable schools, you probably think of modular classrooms. Well, think bigger, much bigger.
In 1962, this L-shaped schoolhouse was separated into two structures, loaded onto flatbed trucks and moved from Dillon #3, which became the bottom of Lake Dillon, to this spot in Dillon #4. Built in 1883 as a school, this frame building with original belfry and bell has undergone changes in use - originally as a school, in 1910 as a church and in 1972 as a museum - as well as in location. The railroad had arrived in Dillon #3 months before the school was constructed, so it was built of modern materials such as four-by-four casement windows and a pressed-tin ceiling. It sported a raised platform with curtain for programs. The outside walls were clapboarded and the roof covered with split-shake shingles.
