It is located 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Boonville on State Route 128. The one-room schoolhouse was moved about 20 feet (6.1 m) to a new concrete foundation in 1965, to allow for a road realignment.[2]
Also known as the Little Red Schoolhouse, the Con Creek School is a schoolhouse built in the Greek Revival style by J.D. Ball in 1891. Used as a classroom for eight grade levels for 50 years, it was trimmed down to only 7th and 8th grades by 1941. In 1958 its use changed again to that of a kindergarten, and remained so until 1979, when it was donated to the local historical society.[3] The Little Red Schoolhouse is located near the community of Boonville[4]
