evidence. Museums hold 2,704 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Old District 10 Schoolhouse between 1849 and
1975: 2,262 Animalia, 225 Fungi, 134 Plantae, 77 Protozoa, 5 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. D. Huryn, A. D. Selby, A. G. Newhall and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.

evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
1 working within 5 miles of Old District 10 Schoolhouse: 1 past producer.
None of them still produces. What was taken out: Limestone, General. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
