The Schaumburg Centre Public School, a one-room schoolhouse, is located on St. Peter Lutheran Church property.  It was moved in 1981 from its original site on Schaumburg Road west of Roselle Road. The building belongs to the Village of Schaumburg; however, the land upon which sits is owned by St. Peter Lutheran Church, which leased it to the village for 99 years.  The Schaumburg Township Historical Society, a not-for-profit organization, takes care of the interior.  The schoolhouse is open to visitors from noon to 3 PM on the following dates during 2025:  Memorial Day, June 8, July 12, July 13, August 3, August 17, September 14, and for scheduled historical society presentations.  



The old, brick St. Peter Lutheran Church and original, white frame 1847 church which serves as St. Peter Church Museum belong to and are maintained by St. Peter Lutheran Church.  The church museum is currently closed to the public due to repairs.  For more information, contact the church at 202 E. Schaumburg Road.
