THERE ARE 27 OF THE OLD ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSES ON THIS SITE. ORIGINALLY THERE
WERE AROUND 300 OF THESE SCHOOLS IN THESE COUNTIES DURING THE ERA OF THEIR PRIMARY
USAGE FROM THE 1860s-1930s.
TO MAKE SURE IT TRULY WAS A ONE ROOM
SCHOOLHOUSE AT ONE TIME IN THE PAST, BEFORE ANY OF THE SCHOOLS WERE PLACED ON
THIS SITE, I VERIFIED THE ACCURACY OF THE LOCATION THROUGH A DUPLICATE
VERIFICATION PROCESS. EVERYTHING THAT IS POSTED IS TRULY WHAT
CONSISTS OF ALMOST ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL HOUSE.
I WOULD LIKE TO
MENTION THAT ALL OF MY PHOTOGRAPHS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING COPYRIGHTED. I AM
WILLING TO GIVE THE RIGHTS TO NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL PROJECTS, LIBRARIES,
SCHOOLS, HISTORICAL SOCIETIES. HOWEVER, IF MY PHOTOS ARE USED AS A PROFIT
SOURCE, I DO EXPECT COMPENSATION.

YOU HAVE TO DO IS CLICK ON THE PICTURE.
I VALUE ANY INPUT TO PLACE
ALONG WITH THESE SCHOOLS, IF ANYONE HAS ANY PICTURES OR INFORMATION, PLEASE
CONTACT ME SO I COULD ADD IT TO THIS BLOG

SCHOOL/PUTNAM COUNTY
MONTEREY TOWNSHIP
A very ironic story
on this school; after all these years of standing unscathe, this damage
occurred during extreme storm conditions that occurred
over the previous two days
before I located and photographed this school.
OLIVE CHAPEL METHODIST CHURCH/VAN WERT COUNTY
JENNINGS TOWNSHIP
This church was within a three mile radius of five old schools,
a good probability that numerous students and their families attended sevices here.
