| Additional Comments |
School District No. 5 constructed a non-extant wood frame schoolhouse prior to 1856, at which time the need for an improved schoolhouse was felt. A one acre parcel of land was purchased on which a brick schoolhouse was constructed around 1858. The school takes its name from the “fighting Finches,” a family of outlaws who hid out nearby in the marshes around Lake Koshkonong in the early nineteenth century. The school closed during the mid-twentieth century and has since been converted into a private residence. Old one-room schoolhouse converted to residence. |
