In 1879 a two-story building was built for $1700.00. Later a new school was built on the same site as the 1879 building in 1894, for the cost of $6000.00 by Architect Dow. In 1941 a bond election was held to to build an addition to the orginal school. The new building was built for $75,000 and was dedicated on March 19, 1943. Then in June of 1950, bids were given for an AG building. Harold Horst's bid of $1700.00 for concrete blocks was accepted, and the lumber bid for $1900.00 was given to the Slagle Company. This building still stands across the street from where the schools are located. In 2007, fire destroyed both school buildings. A memorial to the schools is located at the site of the school buildings, where the Hudson Community Center is now located.<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9604f42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9604f42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1d7bdb9\" data-id=\"1d7bdb9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30606d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"30606d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hudsonsdlibrary.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC06697-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59f622e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"59f622e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Rollings Pit<br><\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b51d2b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b51d2b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ca1efc\" data-id=\"1ca1efc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b28f023 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b28f023\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hudsonsdlibrary.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC06853-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31c5ab3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"31c5ab3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Rudolf Miller Memorial Park<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb0f367 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bb0f367\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Rudolph Miller was a farmer and also held interest in the hardware business in Hudson.

privelege.<\/p><p>In the spring of 1925, the city voted a one mill levy for the support of the library, which now consists of 399 books.<\/p><p>Due to growth, a larger and more modern building was secured and in the fall of 1929 the library of 677 books was moved into the Bradley Estate Building.<\/p><p>In June 1936, the library was reorganized and the American Legion Auxillary joined the Women&#8217;s Study Club in sponsoring this project, where by three members of the Study Club and three members of the Auxillary comprised the library board.<\/p><p>In 1937 the town of Hudson purchased the former Colman building and with the help of a PWA project, the building was renovated. New shelves ,reading tables, bulletin boards, magazine racks, and filing cabinets were installed. Rest rooms were provided in the basement.<\/p><p>After a complete cataloging of the 1951 books , the library was moved into a new building and an Open House was held Jan. 22, 1938, at which time the public responded so splendidly, thus showing their interest and enthusiasm.<\/p><p>The library is an asset to Hudson and the community and to which one may point with pride. It not only serves the local adults and children but extendsto homes within the radius of many miles.<\/p><p>The present board consists of Mrs. Bernice Huisman, Chairman; Mrs. Margeret Erickson, Secretary; Mrs. Vern Trickle; Mrs. H.J.
