HEISTAND SCHOOL
1915
Designated April 19, 1976Since about 1855 this site has been the location of the Blooming Grove township school. Named for pioneer tobacco grower, Jacob Hiestand, whose farmstead lay across the road, the original frame building was razed in 1915 to make way for this fully modern stucco-covered building. This one-room school is noteworthy as a progressively designed facility, as a community center, and as a reminder of the rural heritage of the township.

The marker is No. 44 in a series of markers erected by the Madison Landmarks Commission.
