Gibbs School is the one-room school originally named Chehalem Mountain School and located at the intersection of Bell and Quarry Roads. The name was changed in honor of Oregon's second Governor, A. C. Gibbs, who resided nearby.

The building you see today was erected in 1886. School was in session there until 1947 when the district began transporting students to the larger Springbrook School. 

The Gibbs facilities have been used for community based activities throughout their history.

Gibbs School is now listed on the Yamhill County Registry of Historic Landmarks. It remains the only one-room schoolhouse left in Yamhill County that has not been converted to another use and to remain on its original site. Restoration activities are in honor of those alumni who represent our heritage and the era of the one-room school.

The school house has been restored, and a museum established with artifacts reflecting the era.
