Lakes Entrance Regional Historical Society
Johnsonville School No. 2761 was built in 1900 at a cost of £278 to accommodate 60 children. It was officially opened on 12th February 1901.
Enrolments dwindled over the years and in the late 1990s the decision was made to close the school.
In 1999 the Society purchased the building from Education Victoria and transported it in two sections to Lakes Entrance. After substantial refurbishment, the building was reopened on 30th June 2000 as the Lakes Entrance History Centre & Museum.
