"Tried to find the spring that was indicated but felt like I was on some other piece of property, never found the spring and the school wasn't open, needs more information for site seer's"
"It was a nice quick stop. We just happened to drive by at the right time. They are only open Sundays in the afternoon and we were driving by right as the flipped the sign to open. The gentleman who opened that day was very nice and even told us some of his own personal history and about how his granddad had gone to school there."
"Stopped here just to waste a little time. Cute little park and the kids loved the creek. We did try to use the bathrooms, but they were closed (I'm assuming still closed for the season). Not sure how the museum is, cause it's not really my thing (especially with the littles), but there is a good informational sign up. There are a couple sets of picnic tables set up if you wanted to enjoy a picnic while there. The one by the parking is even set up for wheelchairs."
"Great little museum of an x one room a one room a one room school. Unusual be because built out of brick."
"Is just a school house and some info..but still a great learning adventure"
