Washington Township School In 1919, C.G. Geddes donated land to merge the area’s schoolhouses. The Washington Township Consolidated School District was created. The dedication ceremony commenced on April 1 1922. One citizen refused to attend the celebration calling it a “monument to the arrogance and vanity of the school board,” with its boiler heating, electric lights, and indoor bathroom facilities. On May 3 2002 the schoolhouse closed its doors for the last time. The building is now open for tours.
