Wabek Consolidated School, located at 3825 64th Ave. NW in Mountrail County, North Dakota near New Town, North Dakota, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.[1]
The school is a unique two-room schoolhouse, assembled in 1917 by adjoining two one-room schoolhouses, which were moved to the present site at Wabek. A bell-tower was inserted between them, which was likely the original bell tower associated with the right half of the building prior to physical consolidation in 1917.[2]
A national and state historic site as of October 2019 and January 2025 respectively, Wabek Consolidated School Historic Site consists of a rare two-room pre-WWII physically consolidated schoolhouse, a historic playground, and a two-acre schoolyard.[2] The site is located about 25 miles (40 km) east of New Town, roughly 7 miles (11 km) west of Makoti, or roughly 50 minutes southwest of Minot.
