* [[Hay Lake School]] was constructed in 1896. This was rural school district #2, organized in Washington County in 1855. After several years of holding school in local homes, the school was moved into the old Elim Lutheran Church building. The school used that structure, now a part of the Gammelgarden complex, until this brick building was built. The school was placed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] on July 1, 1970.<ref>[http://www.wchsmn.org/museums/scandia/ ''Hay Lake School'' (Washington County Historical Society)]</ref>
* The [[Johannes Erickson House|Erickson Log House Museum]] centers on the log house constructed in 1868 by Johannes Erickson and his 13-year-old son, Alfred.
