Dear Friends, <br /> For more than a century, the Hopkins Schoolhouse has stood as a cornerstone of the Hugo and Forest Lake <br />community—a place where children learned, neighbors gathered, and stories began. Today, we have an <br />opportunity to bring this beloved building back to life as the Hopkins Schoolhouse and Heritage Center, a <br />space where our shared history can continue to inspire future generations. <br />Your support will help us restore the heart of the Schoolhouse—its classrooms, library, and gathering spaces <br />—while ensuring full accessibility and modern amenities for all. By sponsoring a room or making a <br />donation to our restoration campaign, you’ll help preserve a vital piece of community heritage. <br />Enclosed you’ll find details on sponsorship opportunities, donor recognition, and how your contribution can <br />make a lasting impact.
