To keep it from being vandalized the exact location will not be shared. I will just say it is west of the Mississippi river. If anyone with a company wants to do a video on painting/restoring it feel free to reach out.
I lived in an old schoolhouse almost exactly like this one in Washington County, Ohio about 23 years ago. It had been converted into 2 bedroom house at some point. It was built in 1803, the same year Ohio became a state. Another interesting fact about it was the fact that it was located on an original one acre parcel that was originally surveyed by George Washington and his survey crew. The way I understood it, back when the Northwest Territory was originally surveyed, there was a mandate to cut out one acre on every square mile (640 acres) to be designated for public use. E.G. Schoolhouses, post offices, grange halls, city halls, sheriff's office, etc. The house is located at 1704 Righteous Ridge Rd, Waterford, OH if you want to look at it on google maps. Sadly, no street view is available due to the extremely rural location, but you can see it from the satellite picture. The tin-roofed structure right next to it is a two car detached garage that was also very old. The building was framed in black walnut and had poplar ship lap siding on it with its original slate roof. Even had a small stone root cellar and cistern underneath it.
I went to a one room schoolhouse. It actually was an old ranch house and the teacher lived in the rest of the school and held school in what was the living room. I was the only 1st trader. There were 8 of us. When you graduated from 8th trade, you had to to away to High school. This was in 1957 in Montana.
Thanks for the tour. It's fantastic what shape the building is in. A simple metal cap with a weight on top of the chimney would stop the rain and snow from coming in. You could do that and take a look in the attic for another video. I want to see in the attic.
I just ran across your channel! Thanks for the schoolhouse tour! I spied a cool weathervane hanging in there! What a fascinating place! Thank you for NOT adding weird danger music etc. Nature is a fine backdrop!
My mother taught in a similar one room schoolhouse back in the 40's in Minnesota. Can't remember the town, but she roomed with a local family which was common at the time. She was able to teach school with only 2 years of college because so many of the teachers went to war during WWII. She taught all 12 grades for 2 years, after which she moved back to PA and worked for some time at a munitions plant. My father would have gone to a one room schoolhouse in the late teens and early 1920s. He was born in 1909 and my mother was born in 1925. Very interesting video.
My brother-in-law’s Mother and her siblings went to a one room schoolhouse in the 1930s. These days the Third Graders in town have a special day each year where they dress in period clothes (1850s) and have a day at the schoolhouse!
My mom taught in a one room school house in the 1950s and her mom taught in one in the early 1930s. My mom's school was eventually turned into a residence and was still standing in the late 90s although in hadn't been lived since the mid 80s. There used to be 125 such schools in my county of residence back in the day.
Red paint was the most commonly used color at the time. The railroads used it to paint wooden cars, signs, and other structures so the color was cheap and readily available. Curious about the blue/green shutters. Usually the contrasting color in a red building was white, which was originally made with zinc oxide. My guess is there was a house nearby painted blue/green and the builder of the school used what was left over. Considering the exquisite condition of the school, it should probably be painted and restored.
I'm guessing the little bell was used inside the classroom and not outside - who knows, maybe it was. I say this because I have a large one - the bell itself is about the size of my head - and man that thing is LOUD. It was handed down through the family from frontier-era Kansas when it was used in a schoolhouse. It had to be loud so they could hear it a good distance away. Also, would be great to see the attic; would the schoolteacher have lived up in there? Plus that book looks fantastic...I'd love to sit down and read that, including the notes that someone from decades upon decades ago wrote in there. Thanks for the video!
Outside a small town in central PA is an old stone one room schoolhouse of similar size used 1830s-1860s, noted as a subscription school. The property was purchased by the county historical society in 1920s. Checked google and as I recall passing it as a kid, windows boarded and grounds maintained. Nice when old heritage buildings are preserved. In contrast, the isolated farming valley has several wood Amish/Mennonite one room schoolhouses in use carrying on the tradition.
There is a one room school house just down the road about half a mile from our property. Its still standing. I wish there was some organization to restore and keep these as historical sites.
Beautiful job on this video. Thank you. Please take that bell to the most local historical society. Or a local library or museum? Should reflect the history of the school house which won’t be there forever.
We lived in a converted school house in South Tamaqua, PA in 1962. It is still a house today. The school you are exploring looks like the one on blue mountain road at the border of Lehigh and Schuylkill county, PA.
There was a summer session of school and a winter session of school lasting for 6 weeks at a time. Teachers spent one week with different children's families as part of their pay. Wonder if that cabin was meant to be living quarters for a teacher. You had to buy your school books. The paper essay books is where you wrote your homework answers. Wish that building could be bought and restored.
Between the hiking and the multiple layers of heavy clothes and then trying to get through a video in 1 take without boring people to much with lots of pausing. Yep pretty much lol
My dad went to a one room school. I noticed he was closer to his siblings than I am with mine. I wonder if going to school, in the same room, made a difference.
Did they really drink water from that cistern (sp?) Cool old school house, interesting to see it still standing, hope someone does something with it. There is an old school house where I live and they have it open and decorated for holidays, really cool😊
We had an old dilapidated and disused one on our farm that I remember from a child. It was half full up of manure and had used as a pig pen for a period of time, but there were still the chalkboards and old maps on the wall. That was the late 70’s, and I’m not sure how old the school was. I used to look at it as a child in wonder and amazement, and imagine what became of the students. I liked to imagine a huge disaster occurred at the school. I was five…
There is the exact replica of this at the end of my street except the front door has a mudroom. Im convinced it is an old schoolhouse. Most of the buildings in my town and on my street were built in the 1870s as Southern rebels burned the town down in the first battle of the Civil War. I have tried to find town history at the library but came up empty. Do you know any good references to explore?
In elementary school we took a field trip to probably jarrel plantation they had a one room schoolhouse on the and small town set up on the property no idea if it was real if the buildings were real or had always been in that location but it was really neat to see those old buildings we even had a mock school day in the school house the lady acting as the teacher even dressed in period correct clothing unfortunately we didnt get to see or handle any period school books or even reproductions we got to sit in school desks from the time which was pretty neat it was certainly an experience and i often wonder how the kids back then learned to read write and do math
Now THAT was interesting. I love historical buildings. Its a shame that the next generations will not be able to read cursive. I swear the human race is getting stupider. Fantastic video! Thank you for showing us this wonderful place. I hope it gets preserved and protected. 👍
@@fullblastandfast you're right, guess i was thinking about the 1904 worlds fair that celebrated the centennial. close to where i live, there is an old general store. it's about the same age. it is fully stocked from when it was still in business.
too bad someone don't step in & clean this place up & restore it for the future generations & to teach our kids today how kids back then went to school
I actually taught my first year as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in Roane County, WV at a school called Sandy Knob in 1968. I had 6 grades with only 12 students. What a wonderful time jt was. I taught later in Jackson County at Kenna and later at Sandyville. I remember some names of Jackson County one-rooms too. One was Morning Star and I think another was Rising Sun. Been a long time ago so I could be mistaken. I still teach now as a Substitute Teacher in Pocahontas County, Kindergarten to 5th grade. Still enjoy it and it keeps me on my toes. 78 and still kicking! 😊
Neat old school house, still in good shape. I don’t understand why it’s just being used to store old junk. Who would save an old stained, torn, dirty mattress. Most of the stuff is junk that should be trashed. The building has way more value than all the old junk filling up the place. I hope it will be saved and restored and not left to rot. Seems like such a waste of an old historic building.

No Kindergarten in the 1800’s. Probably was 1st-8th! I went to a 2 room school as a child. So fun, but also stressful. So much competition!

The writing in that book is a beautiful example of Palmer method script. Really a shame we have lost such a beautiful skill.
awesome bit of history

A 1000 Years Ago Men were Building Cathedrals the Size of Stadiums 🏟️ but 100 years Ago they Built Wooden Shacks for 20 people to live in! hmmm 🤔

When you cross the holler, it’s always up hill both ways 😂 this is a really cool piece of history.
The building is in great shape. Considering it's age and lack of recent maintenance. Needs to be restored

Much appreciation. We can imagine the life They had 😊
That's a real gem! There is a complete and excellent one room school perfectly preserved at Wayne state College in Wayne Nebraska as well.
Who owns this school house. And what state is it in
What state is this? How cool
I hope someone restores it.

My grandmother taught in school houses like this when she first started her career in Nebraska in the 1910s.

Beautiful old building. Would make a neat home. 😊
That schoolhouse has been painted many times since the day it was built
What state?
That book is phenomenal what a piece of treasure
This reminds me of the old school house in the movie Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, nice find.
Lol us kids mowed the lawn with those iron beast lawn mowers!

Very interesting. It seems the book you found should be given to a museum or an historical society somewhere for preservation.
Fantastic ,thanks for 3❤
Wonderful piece of history. Amazing.
I have never seen that type of cistern. Thanks for sharing.
Lol, it sounds like you need some oxygen. Good video that was neat!
Between the hiking and the multiple layers of heavy clothes and then trying to get through a video in 1 take without boring people to much with lots of pausing. Yep pretty much lol
Think Laura Ingalls Wilder and The Long Winter
The teachers were paid by a collection from the residents of the area at the time.
State?

That's so cool to see. That it must have sucked when it was cold outside and had to wash your hands. Probably could still fix that place up.
I would love to fix it up and live in it, build a kit building to store vehicles mowing equipment and tools, have to get electric power to it.
Old lawn mowers I used ours sharpen it up and mowed🙏🏡

There is a one room school here in the buffalo area that is from 1868
Which state is it in? Missouri?
hole needs to be covered up going through the roof for the old stove pipe that's going to ruin the floor
copywrite date of 1895, before the louisiana purchase, yet the u.s. map shows all 48 states?
Copywrites aren't updated every year a book is published. Also the Louisiana purchase was in 1803

Loved it !❤
Are those stone chalkboards? or are they the true... boards painted black... that most of these old school houses had.
grades 1 thru 8. no kindergarten.
We bought one of those fixed it and lived in it for nine years. Then we rented it and the renters burnt it down.😊
Had one on my property same year
How can one walk uphill both ways to get to school? Doesn’t make sense.
and they learned to read and write
Those kids were better educated than the children today and they had no electricity, internet or Federally funded board of indoctrination
That looks like a place I know in Jackson County wv

It would've been grades 1-8 no kindergarten and graduation after completing the 8 th grade
Wish you would plug that hole. 😊

I wish people would not write on chalk board like that it kills the history of what it ounce was !!
