Public school was established in the Stillwater, Nevada area in 1872. Classes were held in the original, now unknown, location until the new Stillwater School, shown above, was built in 1918. The new building was constructed to the highest standards of the day. Classes 1-8 were taught in the three room schoolhouse until the last 8th grade class graduated on May 11, 1956. The school reportedly served approximately 40 students a year. After 1956, the school district consolidated and classes were held in Fallon some 20 miles away. The new district encompassed all of Churchill County, some 5000 square miles. The Stillwater School Building has been maintained by Stillwater residents and used as a community facility although it is still owned by the school district. As it nears the century mark in 2018, it is in need of more help from the community. https://www.cowboyshowcase.com/historic-sites.html
