People who attended Gertrude and Fargo country schools were invited to a country school reunion in July at St. Croix Lanes in River Falls.
Fargo School (joint district #3) was located in Section 24 of River Falls Township at County Road W and 770th Avenue. The building was replaced in 1914 and appears to have been turned into a house that still stands on the site, according to the Pierce County Historical Association.
Gertrude School (district #5) was located in Section 1 of River Falls Township. It closed in 1960. The building is no longer on the site. It’s unclear whether it was torn down or moved.
The Pierce County Historical Association is currently collecting country school photos, records, and memories in preparation for a book on Pierce County country schools, which will also include country schools in St. Croix and Dunn counties that funneled up into Pierce County high schools. Please contact Julie Huebel at jhuebel@piercecountyhistorical.org if you have information.
