| Additional Comments |
In 1859, several original Town of Milford and Town of Waterloo school districts were consolidated with a Town of Shields, Dodge County, School District. That fall, a non-extant frame schoolhouse to serve the joint district was constructed a half acre of land on State Highway 19 donated by George Bleeker. In 1875, the Town of Portland, Dodge County, School District No. 10 was added to Joint School District No. 13. After the original frame schoolhouse was destroyed by fire in early 1879, classes continued nearby in a hall owned by C. G. Grigg and, for the rest of the school year, in the house of George Bleeker. A non-extant brick schoolhouse was completed by the end of that year. It became known as Hubbleton School. Due to an increasing enrollment, a new brick schoolhouse was constructed in its place by a man named Hunzicker in 1926, located at W7259 State Highway 19 in the Town of Milford. At that time of its construction, it was the most modern schoolhouse in Jefferson County, with electricity, stoker furnace, and running water. Water was initially piped in from a nearby cheese factory. The schoolhouse contained a large assembly room, two cloak rooms, two toilet rooms, a library, and teacher’s office. By the mid-twentieth century school consolidation, Hubbleton School was one of five remaining schools serving the Town of Milford . Today the Town of Milford is served by schools located in City of Lake Mills, the City of Watertown, and the Village of Johnson Creek. |
