The Indian Industrial School at Genoa was the fourth non-reservation boarding institution established by the Office of Indian Affairs. The facility opened on February 20, 1884, and, like other such schools, its mission was to educate and "civilize" Native American children. The students that came to the Genoa Indian school were from more than 15 states and over 40 tribal Nations. In time the school grew from the original 74 students to an enrollment of 599, and encompassed over 30 buildings on 640 acres. The school closed in 1934. The Indian School building that remains is the Manual Training building. The Manual Training building is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons from 1-5pm and is staffed by 'Docents'.
