context_section_description: There was a schoolhouse, School #5, behind the West Aurora Congregational Church which would have been on the original road that crossed the creek.  The schoolhouse was built in the 1820s and was in operation until 1964 when students were transferred to the newly dedicated West Falls Elementary School which consolidated a few schoolhouses in the area as part of the East Aurora School District.  The West Falls Elementary School on West Falls Road is now the Aurora Waldorf School.  The original schoolhouse was sold to the Church for $500 on April 6, 1965 and subsequently demolished in June 1966.
