    The Cass No. 7 school was open from circa 1900-1940. After closing, it was eventually moved into Panora onto the site of the Guthrie County Historical Village. As of 2024 it is operated as a museum. The outhouse placed in front of the school's front door at the museum originates from the Orange No. 5 school near Coon Rapids.
