This website was created in 1998 as a way to provide an online resource for those interested in learning more about early education in the United States. The history and reminiscences from those who taught and attended one-room schoolhouses are prevalent throughout the site.
One-room schoolhouses are symbolic with our country's earnest commitment to education. These humble places of learning continue to serve in a variety of ways. Some are now historic museums, private residences, living history programs or are still in operation as bonfide schools. Be sure to check out the webpage for America's One-Rooms to see if your schoolhouse is included with your state 's list. Sincerely, The Cornell Schoolmarm |
