Old Molson School Museum is Gem of a Small Town Museum...
This is a small-town museum that is proud of their local history. The early 1900s school building housed 1st through 12th grade students until is closed at the end of the 1968 1969 school year. Especially interesting is a first / second grade classroom left as it was the day the school closed. This time capsule serves as a reminder of what was involved in teaching and attending elementary school in that era. Along with school artifacts are a plethora of other items important to community members ranging from horse-drawn wagons to medals win in various competitions. This is one of those "off the beaten path" museums worth a side trip when visiting north central Washington state!

A walk through history
We were on a roadtrip on our motorcycles with friends and had made this a destination, we were so glad we did this is a wonderful walk through history! No guided tour just wonder around looking at the way life was back during the building of this country. Would recommend this place to anyone interisted in history .It would be a great place to bring children for a lesson in history!

Interesting museum and ghost town.
About a half hour from Oroville, this little town (population 35) hosts a number of abandoned buildings that have been preserved and converted into a museum describing the history and way of life from the early 1900’s. Because of COVID-19, the museum in the old brick school was closed, but we were able to walk around the old town and explore the buildings and displays there. They have a broad collection of artifacts, equipment, and furnishings and descriptions of events of significance for the town. It is well worth the drive through the hills and farmland to visit this museum and ghost town.
