The 1890's one-room schoolhouse came to be at the museum in the early 1980's. The original school bell sits outside the front door with a string attached waiting for the museum's next visitors to ring it.
Inside the school sits 9 desks, teachers desk and a pot belly stove. On one of the walls hangs a clock that hung for all 12 years that Ada Ruth received her education in the 1930's and 40's.
Pictures are hung of Ernestine Whitmore (great aunt to the five Whitmore children) who taught in this schoolhouse in the 1930's.
There are reading, arithmetic and science books from the late 1800's and early 1900's that sit upon the student's desks.
