1800 LOG SCHOOLHOUSE

  Discovered  in the western end of the county a few years ago, this old schoolhouse was being used as a chicken coop. The owners donated it to the Society; it was hauled to the present site, placed on cement flooring, renovated, re-roofed, re-chinked and furnished much like it was in the "days of yore" when pioneer children attended classes. Elementary students from nearby schools periodically have classes in the building to enhance their knowledge and appreciation of their ancestors' history.            

This very small school was used to accommodate twenty students at one time in the past.  Even the horse was invited in during stormy weather.







Museum Open House will be Saturday, June 7, 2008.
