The school contained single desks, slate blackboards, bookshelves, a clock, thermometer, a long table, bench, globe and teacher’s desk. The school closed in 1951."
In 2022, we purchased the schoolhouse -- we are Sarah & Greg of Northern Virginia (formerly NY and CA) who love everything about architecture, renovation, historic preservation and traveling around this beautiful state we call home! We completed a major renovation of the schoolhouse in 2023 and began welcoming guests soon after. We hope you fall in love with this tiny house with big history just as much as we did.
