The Concord School House was initially constructed with logs in Quincy, MO, to meet the educational needs of the early pioneer children in the county. The building burned down twice, and the current schoolhouse is the third structure. It is a one-room schoolhouse, built around 1908, which served District No. 4 of St. Clair County, Missouri, until 1948. After being used for hay storage for many years, the building was restored in the mid-1970s and served as a venue for the annual Gilbert Family/Concord School Reunion for many years.
In 2005, the Kaysinger Bluff Pioneer Heritage Association acquired it and relocated it to their pioneer village near the Truman Dam Visitor's Center in Warsaw, Missouri. There, it was rebuilt to its original form and is now exhibited as a representation of early Missouri rural schools.
