Step back in time and enjoy this little town pasted by time!! The Kilgour School was formed in 1869. The building was located about 4 miles southwest of Oskaloosa and the the  corner of 78th and Lincoln. It was moved to Oskaloosa in 1950 and became part of the elementary grade school complex (Grades 1-4), along with Plum Grove, Tibbott, and lumber from Lone Tree Schools. The combined Kilgour/Plum Grove building was relocated to Old Jefferson Town in 1975. Presently it houses the Jefferson Co. Genealogical Society Resource Center (Library).

10/10 Exceptional! (15 reviews)
The survey seems to be asking about a pool. There is no pool I am aware of. This was a great little spot close to downtown and Mass St. Was very clean and cutely decorated. The only thing I personally didnt like was the firmness of the mattress, it is very firm. Would stay again!
