Save the Schoolhouse!!

Unless significant funds are raised by the end of the year to support the restoration of the Hopkins Schoolhouse, the schoolhouse could be torn down.

The Hugo and Forest Lake Historical Societies are trying to raise awareness and funds for the schoolhouse. They envision the restored schoolhouse being used as a meeting place for the community and a place to display the historical artifacts of the area. There aren’t a lot of historical structures from the early area and this would be a way to preserve some of that history.

Local businesses are helping donate time and free services to the restoration. Precise Exteriors out of Hugo is donating a free roof installation to save this piece of Hugo real estate.

To donate go to www.hopkinsschoolhouse.org.
