It ended with a road trip and the settling of the school at its new home on the grounds of the Sturgis Station House Museum."

Individuals have donated articles related to the Brookview School and the museum board is hopefully that more will come forward and add to the school.
"It is an exciting time for the museum,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e are hoping that we can open the school to the public in 2020, which will be the centennial of the school.
