"Built in 1876, this two-room red brick schoolhouse served the children of the Coralville area from 1876 until 1951. Today, the school's two classrooms interpret what the school in Iowa was like in the 1870s and the 1940s. The Johnson County Historical Society interprets the 1876 Coralville Schoolhouse Museum, which is one of the only three two-room Iowa schoolhouses on the National Register of Historic Places."- Johnson County Historical Society
