The Old School Museum is typical of the one teacher schools that sprung up in the wheatbelt after the turn of the century. The school was moved from the Konnongorring township north of Goomalling in the 1920's.
The re-sited Konnogorring one-teacher school, which operated between 1925 and 1973/74, has been restored and furnished to typify the local and isolated schools which were scattered throughout country districts. The school museum mural, completed in 2008 by Roy Smith, was designed and painted to give some insight into school days during the time of one teacher schools.
