Our History

For those who have wondered about the curious building at the intersection of Woosamonsa and Poor Farm Roads, it is a restored one-room schoolhouse. The current building was constructed in 1876 and replaced an older log schoolhouse that stood near the same site. The school, which enrolled between 30 and 63 pupils a year, was not age graded. Instead children progressed at their own pace through a series of basic graded textbooks. School days were long, starting at 9 am and ending at 4 pm.

If you want to get a good look inside (and have some delicious fun) join us on June 4th for our annual fundraiser, the Woosamonsa Schoolhouse Strawberry Social. Neighbors from near and far, new and old, come together to enjoy an afternoon of strawberries, ice cream and cake. Your ticket price goes directly to ensuring that the schoolhouse will stand and be open to the public for years to come.
