Constructed in 1887, Center Valley Grade School was one of seven one-room schools serving the Township of Center, and it served in that manner until 1958. For 82 years, local farming families sent their children there, where grades 1 through 8 were taught by a single teacher. The school was eventually sold and used as storage for many years, finally falling into a state of disrepair. In 1999, a group of past students and local citizens purchased the structure and returned it to its 1940s condition. After 8 years of volunteer work on the project, a rededication ceremony was held on August 11, 2007, and the site was added to the State and National Register of Historic Places August 20, 2010.
