The city of Twin Bridges boasts Montana’s oldest standing one-room school. It opened in 1867 and closed in 1873.

The first school district organized in Montana was at Virginia City. In 1864, the schoolhouse—which was actually built to be a church—measured fifty feet long by thirty feet wide. Eighty-one pupils registered for school, but no textbooks were to be had—except for whatever families could provide. School opened on March 5, 1866, and ended in mid-August. Before school resumed, an actual log schoolhouse was built.
