This sawmill, shown c. 1948, replaced the original mill, which burned in November 1947. The mill was located near the spot where Echo Valley Village is today in the town’s village.

Pictured here is the Hollow School, one of Pittsburg’s first schools.

This is the Village School building, which sat on the same lot as the present-day school. The first known school in the republic was established in 1821, when Betsey Rogers taught in a log house on Indian Stream. The first school building was a log structure on Hill Road, with Elisha Abbott serving as the first teacher. A larger school was built in 1828, and it also served as a town hall, courthouse, and sometimes church.

The present Pittsburg School is a brick building constructed between 1912 and 1915, and it housed grades 1 through 12. In 1949, a fire gutted the building, and classes were set up in the church, town hall, and the Grange building, which had once again become a school for a couple of years. A new gym was added to the present building in 1960, as well as a wing to house elementary grades, and the Bremer W. Pond Auditorium and Library.
