Hay Lake School is a schoolhouse in the northern part of Washington County, Minnesota, just west of Marine on St. Croix. Rural School District #2 was established in Washington County in 1855. Before the Hay Lake School building was built in 1896, classes were initially held in homes, and then in the old Elim Lutheran Church building. The school continued to operate in this location until 1963, when it was closed. In 1970, a group of citizens organized to clean the school and begin tours. That same year, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
The building is now operated as a museum by the Washington County Historic Society. The Johannes Erickson House is also on the grounds and is open for tours.[2]
