The New Sweden School is a school located in the town of New Sweden, Idaho (part of Idaho Falls). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The school was built in 1927 and is historically significant due to its association with the Swedish American immigrant communities of New Sweden and Riverview.
The school's period of significance was from 1925 to 1949, and the building had been used by the community until 1980. Since then, the property has been the target of significant vandalism. The Idaho Falls School District #91 declared the school as surplus property, and in 2012, accepted a bid for its sale to VanderSloot Farms for $121,000.
