History in the making

A one-room schoolhouse, faithfully restored.

Originally used as a one-room schoolhouse until 1943, the building served many different purposes over the decades — locals may remember it as a rod & gun club or, most recently, an antique shop that closed its doors around the turn of the century.

In 2019 a three-year renovation began to restore the schoolhouse inside and out. Many aspects are original, from the light fixtures installed in the 1930s to the nail holes in the floor where desks were once fastened down. It truly feels like you’re stepping into the past.
