About Us

Oneida Stake Academy Foundation

The Oneida Stake Academy Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and restoring the historic Oneida Stake Academy in Preston, Idaho. Our mission is to protect this important landmark and ensure that it continues to serve the community for generations to come.

​

Built in 1895, the Oneida Stake Academy played an important role in the education and development of many early families in southeastern Idaho. Today, the Foundation is working to restore the building and give it new life as a community gathering place that celebrates the history, culture, and heritage of the region.

​

Through the support of donors, volunteers, and community members, we are working to preserve this historic building and create a space where the past and the future come together.
