Additional Information: | After consolidating with the Lake Mills School District No. 8 and Town of Oakland School District No. 12 to form the Joint District No. 11 in 1861, the Town of Aztalan School District No. 2 was reorganized by the 1880s. A new brick schoolhouse was constructed in 1890 at N5595 County Highway N in the Town of Aztalan. Classes were held at the school through the mid-twentieth century, after which the township’s school districts were consolidated. Union School is now used as a private residence. |
