[4] The initial educational establishment in Viroqua began with a school taught by Mrs. Margaret C. Terhune in an old log courthouse during the late summer and fall of 1851.

That year, following the formation of a school district, a two-room frame schoolhouse was built opposite Warren Dunlap's residence.

Brown, and A. D. Chase taught there until 1868, when a new building was constructed and the old one was sold and eventually converted into a dwelling.

The new school building, erected in 1868, was a large stone structure located a few blocks east of the town's center.
