The Teigen School building no longer exists. In 2006 when the<br />

Central Montana Museum was building an addition, it found that the<br />

school’s foundation had deteriorated to the point that the building<br />

could not be restored, so had to be torn down. The school’s contents<br />

have been preserved inside the museum and a schoolhouse display has<br />

been included at the museum.<br />
