The Mexican or Spanish school was built in Worland, the county seat of Washakie County. It currently resides in a mixed residential and industrial neighborhood at the intersection of Big Horn Ave and 3^rd St at 100 S. 3^rd St. According to both the Public Works Administration (PWA) and WPA application, the school was designed and built for the following: “School facilities are inadequate. Grade school is needed to relieve contestation and to segregate white and Mexican children.” The Mexican or Spanish School served as a segregated elementary school for the city’s Hispanic children from 1936-1956. Children of Mexican descent attended Worland city’s schools in an integrated setting until the Great Depression when anti-Mexican sentiment drove the building of a segregated school in 1936. Known most commonly as the Mexican or Spanish School it was also known as the West Side School. The Mexican school in Worland was in operation until 1956, following the immediate aftermath of the Brown v. Board of Education (1954/55)Supreme Court decisions and Wyoming’s repeal of its permissive educational segregation law in 1955.  The school was in use for Mexican descent children until 1956, when it was temporarily used to house middle school students, served as the Worland school administration building, a bank, Wyoming Highway Patrol, and is currently used as an office building.

The Mexican School is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A in the areas of Education and Ethnic Heritage: Hispanic due to it being one of the only—if not the only —public schools built in Wyoming for the sole purpose of segregating Hispanic children and illuminating how geographically expansive the segregation of Hispanic children was in public schools. 

The Worland Ranch Historic District consists of a farmstead, a historic townsite, and a historic monument marker. The working ranch and farm include prime agricultural lands used for the growing of sugar beets, malt barley, corn, and pinto beans, as well as pasture and wetlands. The buildings include the large main house, managers house, two tenant houses, a large lambing shed, and large barn and other outbuildings. The Worland Ranch is significant for its association with Charles Henry ''Dad'' Worland, founder of the first settlement of Worland, Wyoming. The Ranch contains the original townsite of Worland.

Dad Worland first built a dugout at this site in 1900. In 1903 C.F. Robertson and his engineering survey team camped near Worland's establishment. They were investigating the feasibility of developing a large irrigation project, the Hanover Canal. The project was found to be feasible and the construction boom began; Worland's site was the center of activity. A Post Office ''Worland'' was established with Dad as the first postmaster. Businesses sprang up. Dad built in 1903-04 a two room log house just north of his dugout and operated a boarding house. Also at this time Dad was putting together a large ranch along the Fifteen Mile Creek through filing for desert land entries, purchasing property, and trading. He eventually acquired over 800 acres of land and called it the Worland Ranch. Dad continued to reside on his property, and he and his son Charlie had the existing ranch buildings built in 1917-1918. The Ranch was sold to the Wyoming Sugar Company in 1920. The property has remained a working farm/ranch under several different owners. The buildings still reflect the excellent workmanship and materials used in their original construction and are being restored by the current owners of the Worland Ranch.
