Dixieland School

In February 1913, residents of the Dixieland farming district recognized the need for a local school and petitioned the county, resulting in a school named Munich after a group of residents who had migrated from the town of Munich in the Dakotas. In 1917, during World War I, public sentiment led the community to rename the school Dixieland. The small schoolhouse became the social nucleus of the neighborhood, hosting the women's club, monthly dances with bands, and Christmas festivities that drew people from surrounding areas. Today the school continues as the centerpiece of the community.
