THERE ARE 42 OF THE OLD ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSES ON THIS SITE. ORIGINALLY THERE
WERE AROUND 200 OF THESE SCHOOLS IN THIS COUNTY DURING THE ERA OF THEIR PRIMARY
USAGE FROM THE 1860s-1930s.
TO MAKE SURE IT TRULY WAS A ONE ROOM
SCHOOLHOUSE AT ONE TIME IN THE PAST, BEFORE ANY OF THE SCHOOLS WERE PLACED ON THIS
SITE, I VERIFIED THE ACCURACY OF THE LOCATION THROUGH A DUPLICATE VERIFICATION
PROCESS. ALSO, EVERY HOUSE THAT IS POSTED ON THIS SITE IS COMPRISED OF THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL,WHICH IS ALSO PERSONALLY VERIFIED. ALTHOUGH SOME
HAVE HAD SIDING ADDED, OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS, THEY HAVE KEPT THE ORIGINAL
STRUCTURE UNDERNEATH OF IT. EVERYTHING THAT IS POSTED IS TRULY WHAT CONSISTS OF
ALMOST ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL HOUSE.
I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT
ALL OF MY PHOTOGRAPHS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING COPYRIGHTED. I AM WILLING TO
GIVE THE RIGHTS TO NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL PROJECTS, LIBRARIES, SCHOOLS,
HISTORICAL SOCIETIES. HOWEVER, IF MY PHOTOS ARE USED AS A PROFIT SOURCE, I DO
EXPECT COMPENSATION.
COVERED BRIDGES ALSO HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THIS SITE DUE TO THE FACT THAT SOME
OF THESE WOULD BE A PART OF THE EVERY DAY LIFE OF THE STUDENTS WHO WENT TO THESE
SCHOOLS. EVERY BRIDGE WAS WITHIN A COUPLE MILES OF AT LEAST 3-4 SCHOOLS, AND IT WOULD ALMOST BE A CERTAINTY THAT NUMEROUS STUDENTS WOULD CROSS THESE BRIDGES DAILY.
