The Alfred White
School
​​District #1
From land gifted by Alfred White to a schoolhouse that served generations of children, the story of District 1 is where Minerva’s educational legacy begins. This first chapter traces the foundations of public schooling in Irishtown and Olmstedville—from early community effort to state reforms, and from forgotten buildings to enduring local memory.
Olmstedville
Union School
​District #1
​Henry Dornburgh sells 1/2 acre of land in Lot 40 of the Dominick Patent to local school trustees and a new one-room schoolhouse is built on this property which eventually becomes Olmstedville Union School. 
Minerva
Central School
​District #1
The population of students in Olmstedville Union School grew to a point that the building could no longer accommodate them.  A new school was built and opened in 1937 and the Olmstedville School was closed.
