Colvin Run Mill School House is a famous school house in Great
Falls. It is famous because it is one of the oldest schools in Great
Falls that is still up. It was built around 1894. There was no
running water back then so every day a couple of boys would go get
buckets of water from the house next door(which isn't there anymore.)
Since they didn't have running water they had outhouses. The girls
went on one side and the boys went on the other. They couldn't wash
their hands either because of no running water. You stayed at the
school for 6 hours and 15 minutes.
For a while it was a two room school house, but after a few years
they weren't getting enough students so they changed it to a one room
school house. Today it is used as a hall for meetings.
