An idea

Monroe #8 school was the last country school in the area still standing, and still in good shape.  It was built in 1931, and in 1949 it was closed as a school.  In the 90s, the landowner, Ralph Hansen, needed to farm the land it stood on but wanted to make sure the building was moved and used.  Enter Letty Johnson and Ruby Anderson, who were elected co-chairs of the project.  They were with the Walnut Creek Historical Society, but knew this would take an entire community to pull off.
