The Riverside School was 5 miles west and 2 miles north of Vernon, in the NE corner of Section 16, Township 1S, Range 45W on land owned by G.W. Blacker. In 1917, school was held in a sod building that had been built about 1910 to replace the original 1892 school "soddy." In 1922, the sod building was replaced with a two room frame building that housed the school until it was closed in the 1952 school consolidations.
