Built in 1925 with funds donated by the Oregon Legislature, the Old School educated the thousands of children who lived at the Children’s Farm Home before it was closed in 1978.
Its legacy was honored when it wasplaced on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 and subsequently on the Benton County Register of Historic Resources in 2008.
