On April 29, 2016, I had a post of outside pictures of the Marbletown One Room School House. I left my name and phone number with a lady across the street asking her to please call me when the school was opened for viewing. Last Saturday was the day. She called me in the afternoon and I drove to the school. First picture is the school. Second and third pictures were the entrance. Picture four was the back to the front. Picture five is from the front to the back. The heater in the back it a wood heater. The 48 star flag is next. Next are a book and chalk board students had. Dunce corner is next. Next is a picture of the one room school houses that use to be in Arcadia. There about three of those schools still standing - this one being the only open to the public. Next is a quilt made by the Ladies of Arcadia. Next a desk in the front. The next room is the girls coat room. There is a ladies coat room and a boys coat room. The girls is the only one that is completely restored. Next is the school library room. Next to the chair is the wood that is used in the heater. They have pictures of all the presidents during the time the school was used. Last are the chalk boards on the side of the room walls. They had chalk boards in the front and on the side of the school. There is another post of this school - tomorrow.
Thank you for giving us a view of such a beautiful and well-cared for school. The quality of the brickwork on this and other buildings you've shared with us is something that is not often seen. The townspeople must have really cared about their children to provide such a well-equipped school.
Good Morning Anonymous, Most of the other schools that are left are either sitting vacant or turned into houses. That brick school is solid and great built. The only thing they changed over the years were the windows. Originally the windows were much smaller but in the 1930's they put the bigger windows in. They are called school windows as most modern day schools have that type windows in them.
Oh Marilyn! I love this post! What an excellent school! So very, very nice to see a school taken care of like this, as it should be. Makes me happy. :D So interesting!
Good Morning, Marilyn! Loved seeing these pics! Most of the one room schools in our parts(Ohio)are run down, with a few turned into homes. How nice this one is so well preserved and open to the public. It was fun seeing a glimpse into our past, a much simpler time in life. Diann
Good Morning Diann, Glad you liked the pics. It is sad to see them run down. This one is very well preserved, but very few people come and see it. It is a glimpse into our past. Part 2 is tomorrow.

Good Morning Tom,
It's open from 1 until 3 on Saturdays through the summer. It's really worth seeing.

Good Morning Jodie,
Most of the one room school houses are gone in our area - but there are still a few. This is the only one you can go inside.
