This authentic one-room school house is filled with authentic memorabilia. Colonel Woods Avenue at Island Lane was not the original location of the Lakeview School House. It used to be on the northern part of the Island and was moved to its current spot more recently. The structure dates to around 1904/1905 and is currently in beautiful condition (inside and out). According to information I found online(northwestwisconsin.com), the school closed in 1938 and the building was used as a residence for many years. It was gifted to the Madeline Island Historical Preservation Association in 1987 and has since been used as an interpretive site.
