Built in 1894 on land donated by Peter and Mary Weinand, who owned the neighboring farm, Burschville School is one of the last one-room schools in Hennepin County still on its original site and has always been maintained as a school. It served grades 1 through 8 for 71 years, with one teacher teaching all subjects to every grade during the school day. The school had no running water, and each morning two students carried water from the Weinand farm for washing hands and drinking. Lydia Krienke taught there in 1897. The school closed in 1968, and the remaining students were sent to Buffalo School District. Since 1967, it has been owned and maintained by the North Hennepin Pioneer Society, and it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2018.
