One Room School Experience
November, January, February, March & Summer – Weekdays
Our Schoolmarm begins the day with opening exercises typical in the year 1893: greeting, Pledge of Allegiance, and singing. Next, slate assignments are given, followed by recitation and arithmetic. At mid-day there is time for lunch (not included) and recess where children play old-time games. Geography, spelling bees, and penmanship are examples of afternoon activities that complete the day.
Our schoolhouse, a late 19th century reproduction, is furnished with slant-top desks, a potbelly stove and slate blackboards. Materials are available to use prior to your visit to prepare students for their journey back in time. Children are encouraged to wear period clothing.
