In September 1921, state and federal scientists rented schoolhouse in Montana to set up a laboratory. They worked there only seven years, but what they did made history: created a vaccine for a highly fatal disease; added to our knowledge of diseases carried by ticks; and established the forerunner of the Rocky Mountain Laboratories of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. This webpage celebrates the 100th anniversary of Canyon Creek Schoolhouse Laboratory.
