The Spring Creek School was built in 1904 and was known as District #36 of Sumner County KS. The outhouses and coal shed were built in 1917. Its last year of school was the school year 1946-47.
Currently registered on the National Registry:
www.kshs.org/resource/national_register/nominationsNRDB/Sumner_SrpingCreekSchoolNR.pdf
Once moved this school and its outbuildings will be moved to the state level like the Belleview school. Which is far better then not being on any registry and fall'n in on itself at its orginal location!! Also the school will be eligible for a National Registry with the Country School Association of America (CSAA) once moved and restored.
