In early 2011, a group of neighbors took on the task of fixing up the Sula Schoolhouse. Below are before and after pictures. The School is open to the public for viewing. Donations are always appreciated for upkeep and maintenance of this historical building.

The Schoolhouse was used as storage, a hay barn and eventually boarded up.
