Halley School #7 was built in 1874, and was one of eight schools serving the nearby townships. It was used through the 1944-45 school year, before being sold to private owners. In 1975, Halley School was given to the Nevada Bicentennial Committee by Ivan and Sally Hornbacher Hansen, Dee Earl, and Lois Hornbacher, in memory of their parents, Issac and Elma Hornbacher. The school was first moved from its original location 6 miles south east of Nevada, Iowa to the Story County Fair grounds in 1976 to be fully restored in celebration of the United States Bicentennial. It was moved again in 2006 from the county fairgrounds, to a new location on the Briggs Terrace property.
