Architect: Jacob Wagner Built: 1878

Laura Ingalls Wilder would have felt at home in this1878 schoolhouse. This single-room building, built in 1878 for educating children through eight grade, has a white cedar shake roof and original beaded wainscoting for both walls and ceilings.

The schoolroom has a pot-belly stove, wood and cast iron desks, slate boards, real ink pens, calico bonnets, oil lamps and inkwells for dipping pigtails. You can even sit in a corner and try on the dunce cap. Outside, there is an original "two-hole" privy.
