the maple grove school museum

The District 17 school was the Maple Grove School, also known as the Mumford School. It was east of Table Rock on the southeast 1/4 of Section 2-2N-11E in Pawnee County, Nebraska. In 1965, Clarence Stoneberger, then owner of the land on which the abandoned old school sat, gave the schoolhouse to the Table Rock Historical Society in return for a promise that the schoolhouse be removed, all brush and debris removed, and the site leveled.
