Walnut Grove School, Olathe, Kansas Postcard

The Walnut Grove School was established in 1878 in Olathe, Kansas, and in use as a school until 1951. Students living within miles of 116th Street and Pflumm in Olathe attended this one-room school. The original Walnut Grove School building was moved to its present location on the campus of Walnut Grove Elementary School, 11800 Pflumm, where it was restored. The schoolhouse was one of five in the area that consolidated into Countryside School at 129th Street and Quivira in 1951. The Walnut Grove School property was purchased by the Bauer family who later donated the one-room schoolhouse to the school district and it was relocated to its current site.
