History & Tour
Tour the restored 1906 historic Plummer School house and see history come alive! James Ezra Plummer gave a 300" X 300" plot of land to the Larimer County School district and a temporary structure serving as the school until 1906. At that time, a new building was constructed and given the name "Plummer School."
It was a common practice in rural school districts to name the school in honor of the family who donated the land.
Besides the daily school activities, the building was used for weddings, funerals, and business meetings. The school building was also the "polling place" on election days. It was essentially the perfect place to conduct any business that was of general interest or importance to the community members. The Plummer School building served as the only school in District Number 26 until it was abandoned upon the reorganization of the public education system in 1960.

After it was abandoned, the property changed hands several times and the building was used as an antiques store, publishing office, residence, and art gallery. It survives today as a visual monument, representative of the rural community's architecture, history, ideals and dreams.
