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! (1 review)
We came to the area for a tournament and this was our home base for the week—-warm, homey and a great retreat from the gym. We mostly had breakfasts there and then late night snacks. The beautiful country drive to both Topeka and Lawrence was easy. We appreciated the quiet area!

Lawrence

The church building was completed in 1891 and was located 4 miles north of McLouth at the intersection of Union (Hwy 92) and 118th. It was a United Brethren Church and became Evangelical United Brethren (E.U.B.) in 1946 with the unification of the denominations. It was moved to Old Jefferson Town in 1970. Thomas Edmonds was the first S.S. Supt. [Sunday School Superintendent] and many from the Edmonds family followed in that position.
