The school room area contains items associated with public education in Scott County throughout history. In addition to vintage school furniture, books and supplies, there are many photos and personal items once belonging to students. From varsity jackets and band pictures, to graduation invitations dated 1909, there is a wonderful collection of items that will bring back nostalgic school day memories.
Among the many photographs we have collected are those of the one room country schools that once dotted the county. While many of these buildings are gone, we have pictures a good number of them and have located each of them on a map. We continue to search for pictures of these old school buildings.
