The Old Miakka Schoolhouse was a learning destination for local kids when it opened in 1914 and was built for $1,390. The one-room schoolhouse would shut down 30 years later as the area grew and there were more modern options. In 1948, the Miakka Community Club acquired the property for one dollar and has been committed to preserving the building ever since. (text from FOX13)
