Log Schoolhouse
 

This is a representation of an 1840's era school built in Fulton County. Like many early schools, students sat on puncheon benches facing the windows to take advantage of the light let in by the greased paper. A gourd dipper and a wooden pail sit at the door of the school, which typically held a dozen students. Since they helped on the farm in the spring and fall, many students only came during the winter. Today’s visitors can follow in the footsteps of those early students, sitting on the same benches and learning about the “3 R’s” from the schoolhouse teacher.
