Description

The Dixie Valley school district formed in 1917 and a makeshift school was erected. A trailer house was used from 1959-1960. In 1961 the building formerly used as the Beach Schoolhouse was moved to Dixie Valley and used until 1972. Dixie Valley children were then bused into Fallon to go to school, this bus ride was known as the longest in the country at 75 miles one way. The Unites States Navy demolished the building in the 1980's.
