Cherry Creek Valley Historical Society saved the Melvin Schoolhouse, a two room schoolhouse built in 1922, which was in danger of being razed. The original site was near Parker Road and Quincy Avenue, east of Cherry Creek State Park. Melvin Schoolhouse was used by the families in the Melvin community. The school closed in 1949 when the Cherry Creek Dam was created. The schoolhouse was moved in 1976 and restored under the supervision of CCVHS with members, students, Cherry Creek School District personnel, and community volunteers.
