1904 Spicer School House

This one room school house was built in 1904 one half mile north of Hickory Corners, which is about 13 miles southeast of the museum. Many of the first students were members of the Spicer family and so the school got it's name. It is furnished with many of the original desks, chalk boards, books and even the original Union Jack flag. The smaller children sat in the smaller desks at the front of the classroom, and the larger students at the back. One teacher could have 8 different grades to teach. The school was the first large building to be moved to the museum in 1971.

Looks like we have a teacher present we had better behave.

Lets go see who it is!

Christine and Don volunteered to help at one of our bees.

Thanks to both of you. {You can meet Don again at the General Store}
