Eden No. 2, the Lund school, was built in 1877, and was for a time the only school in the township. It was moved closer to the center of the district, on Flo land, and was called the Flo school. Norwegian school and religious school were also taught here. It closed in 1854. Eden No. 3, built in 1888, was known as the Erdahl school. It was moved closer to the center of the district in 1897, and ended up in Section 17 because the mud was too deep to move the school any farther.

A frame building with a cement foundation was built in 1888. The school closed in 1947. [3]
