Description: Lamar, a 1905 two-room school house on the National Register of Historic Places, is the focal point of a grassroots effort to restore a building and build a community. The charming craftsman style school with an Italianate tower has operated as a community center since closing as a school in 1944. The building is the sole survivor of what was once a thriving community that included a creamery, post office, church, general store, charcoal kiln, brickyard, and many farms.
