Pella Historical Museums held a celebration of the anniversary of a special landmark on Saturday. Assistant Director Liz Van Gorp says an event was organized at the Amsterdam School. The facility was open with special guest speakers sharing about growing up in a one-room schoolhouse and had activities for all ages. Van Gorp says in 1874, the Amsterdam School District was founded with two school buildings, East Amsterdam and West Amsterdam, and was resurrected to serve as the locations for local children to receive their education. Now, the current building serves as a field trip destination, but it is in need of repairs. The event served to kick off as a fundraiser to support renovations to the facility.
