Information
Historic Central School is the oldest standing school building in Lake City, built in 1882. In the 1980s, when it was no longer needed as a school, it was acquired by a group of people and organizations interested in preserving our rich Lake City heritage as a "Historic and Cultural Center for Lake City." The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. It hosts various playground favorites including: swings, slides, merry-go-round, & a recently updated basketball court. There is also plenty of open grass space to have a picnic or set-up a game of kickball or tag!
The school is open daily through-out the week (call ahead for tours). It is home to many pieces of education related memorabilia.
The building is managed by Central School Preservation, Inc., a non-profit organization. Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CentrralSchoolMuseum
