The Moores Hill Male and Female Collegiate Institute was founded in 1854 in Moores Hill , IN , with the first building completed in 1856 . When space became limited , funds were solicited for a second building .

Dearborn County public school system , with high school classes initially held in the building as the local one room schoolhouses with grades 1-8 were gradually closed and relocated into Carnegie Hall . It was then used for classes kindergarten through 12 until further consolidation of schools in the county resulted in the last graduating class in 1978 . The building was proposed for demolition until alumni formed a nonprofit , Carnegie Historic Landmarks Preservation Society , to preserve and maintain it .

The Carnegie Historic Landmarks Preservation Society maintains Carnegie Hall . Tours and access to the building may be arranged by contacting 812- 744-4015 .
