The Grantsville School and Meetinghouse, located at 90 N. Cooley Ln. in Grantsville, Utah, United States, dates from 1861. It has also been known as the Grantsville City Hall and the Old Adobe Schoolhouse, and it is now the Donner-Reed Museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.^[1]

Description[edit]

It served as a school for 30 years starting in 1861; it was used as Grantsville's city hall during 1894–1917. It employed locally made adobe bricks and use of Greek Revival styling. Its NRHP nomination suggests that since it has been minimally altered since its original construction in 1861, "it is one of the oldest, and perhaps best preserved, schoolhouses in Utah."^[2]

Donner-Reed Museum[edit]

The Donner-Reed Museum is operated by the Sons of Utah Pioneers in the former schoolhouse. The museum features items abandoned by the Donner Party along the trail in their quest to reach California in 1846, including wagon parts, equipment, horse shoes and other items. The museum is open by appointment.
