    The Sandstone School has been a fixture in the Absarokee and Stillwater County communities since 1910. It is one of Montana’s earliest historic properties. A group of dedicated community members are working tirelessly to preserve the historic school building to continue its useful life as a daycare facility. As work to preserve the building continues, — which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places —the Save the Sandstone Community group is continuing their fundraising campaign. We're proud to donate $1,000 to help boost their fundraising efforts. ❤️ “The Sandstone Building is a physical representation of the importance of rural education opportunities,” said Shari DeSaveur, member of the Save the Sandstone Community group. “We are working to preserve this building with the help of partners like NorthWestern Energy to protect its historical significance and to restore the daycare facility that operated in the building until 2019.” The continuous fundraising campaign aims to raise funds for repairs and will be used as matching dollars for larger grant applications. “We’re proud to support the Sandstone Building restoration efforts by providing gap-filling funding needed to continue current work on the roof repairs,” said Lisa Perry, NorthWestern Energy Community Relations Manager.
