Wabek Consolidated School, located at 3825 64th Ave. NW in Mountrail County, North Dakota near New Town, North Dakota, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.
The school is a unique two-room schoolhouse, assembled in 1917 by adjoining two one-room schoolhouses, which were moved to the present site at Wabek. A bell-tower was inserted between them, which was likely the original bell tower associated with the right half of the building prior to physical consolidation in 1917.
A national and state historic site as of October 2019 and January 2025 respectively, Wabek Consolidated School Historic Site consists of a rare two-room pre-WWII physically consolidated schoolhouse, a historic playground, and a two-acre schoolyard. The site is located about 25 miles (40 km) east of New Town, roughly 7 miles (11 km) west of Makoti, or roughly 50 minutes southwest of Minot.
