The Mayville White Limestone School Building

The North half was built in 1857-58 and the South extension was added in 1877. This school made it possible to classify the pupils and three departments were established. E.J. Foster was the first teacher.

This handsome building has withstood the ravages of time and when marked was believed to be the oldest school in Wisconsin still in operation.

Marker is at the intersection of North Main Street and Buchanan Street, on the right when traveling south on North Main Street.
