R-III Students Help Restore 1840’s Worth County Log Cabin

For one of their community service projects for Tuesday, Worth County students went to Denver and helped Lowell Houts restore a log cabin built by William McNight in around 1847. It is a 16 foot by 16 foot structure located on 160 acres. The builder was also responsible for building the mill in Denver. This is one of the oldest known structures in Worth County. Students were chinking between the logs, cleaning up brush and trash, and doing some lifting chores at the schoolhouse.

For Community Service Day, students from Worth County went around the county and did community service activities and trash cleanup. School was dismissed early that day for the Tiger Relays.

In Sheridan, students cleaned up the park, roads, and community hall. Another group went to the Senior Center where they played dominoes with the regulars. Another group went to Orilla’s Way, where they played music for the residents. The 8th graders went out around Grant City, picked up trash, and received positive comments for their work. Another group went to Worth, where they cleaned up the Community Hall there, washed the windows, and cleaned up trash around town. Another group went to Allendale, where they painted the bleachers at the Rodeo Grounds. Another group went to the Worth County Care & Rehab Center, where they painted the gazebo and spent time working on crafts with the residents there.
