Phase 1 is officially COMPLETE! Thanks to an incredible community effort and generous matching donations, we raised the initial $50,000 required to physically move the last original building of the Lolo townsite. The Old Lolo School has officially been moved to its permanent home on the museum grounds of the Holt Heritage Center (next to the Lolo Creek Steak House)!

Right now, the building is being unhooked from the truck, jacked up, and placed on temporary cribbing.

Now, we need your help to plant its roots. Welcome to Phase 2.

While the school is safely on site, it cannot stay on temporary blocks forever. We need to raise an additional $50,000 to design, engineer, and build a permanent foundation and proper community approach so it can safely welcome visitors for generations to come.

How Your Donation Helps Phase 2:

100% of your donation goes directly toward the preservation of the school building, specifically funding:

All donations are tax-deductible and go directly to the project. Ramona Holt is coordinating the efforts, so feel free to check in with her at the Holt Heritage Center!
