Welcome to Flowerfield School. This project allows students to step back in time. Nebraska panhandle fourth graders have the opportunity to experience a school day as it would have been in 1888. Please look at our web site to see what a cooperative effort of E. S. U. #13 and the Banner County Historical Society has accomplished. http://schools.esu13.org/flowerfield/

A bit about the namesake of the Flowerfield school project. Flowerfield is the name of a precinct in the southwest corner of Banner County. The building you see in the picture on this page was perhaps the earliest school in Banner County. It was built in 1886 of logs from the hills in the north portion of the Flowerfield precinct. This was three years before Banner County was formed. School was held in this building for a number of years before being replaced by Flowerfield dist. # 58. The log school building was moved to the museum grounds in Harrisburg in 1974.
