The Elton Schoolhouse was constructed in 1912. Elton's history is uniquely different from Antigo or White Lake. The village is named for Elton C. Larzelere, his father Charles was instrumental in the organization of Langlade County in 1879, and the Evergreen township. The building also served as the Evergreen Town Hall, and is now a community center & and a museum of local artifacts. One of the unique characteristics is a chalkboard signed by residents & visitors who attended the school.

At one point the school housed 90 students. In 1979 the Old School Restoration Committee began a project to refurbish the schoolhouse with the re-dedication during Neva's centennial in 1983.

The museum building was originally known as the "Whiskey Northern" depot built in 1907. The Wisconsin & Northern Railroad moved the depot to White Lake in 1916. In 1996, the building was slated for replacement. White Lake formed a Historical Society and moved the original building to a village lot. The White Lake Depot Museum is one of the most charming railroad & community museums anywhere.
