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. |
