This rural school was built in the 1920's after a previous one on the site burned.

Through this front door passed many children who lived in a two-miles radius of this school.

To the right and left of the front door are the cloakrooms, where boys and girls (separately) left their coats and their lunch buckets before heading in to their desks.

Some of the furniture is not original but most of it is similar to what was here in the 1950's before the school closed and the students went to "town school."

Students sat together at these desks and helped each other learn.

The teacher had a desk at the front of the classroom.

This is what the teacher would have seen from her desk.

On this wall was a bulletin board and also a furnace, which was put in later when the building was used as an election center for a few years.

On this blackboard are the names of former students who had a reunion in the school several years ago.

To the side of the cloakrooms are inside toilets, something new for rural schoolhouses in the 1920's.

Through this door is the basement.

The basement was used for storage and had various tanks and broken desks.
