Help map New Jersey (and surrounding areas) Historic Schoolhouses! It’s growing everyday – and it’s FREE.

A great new mapping effort. We’re looking for people to post information regarding any old one room type schoolhouses that you know of in and around New Jersey.

Using Google Maps in a collaborative effort, it is the intention to create a workable map whereby all historic schoolhouse preservation efforts, program efforts, and build an online network of New Jersey historic schoolhouses.

If you know about a school, please feel free to post a comment to the blog. Feel free to reach out to others via the comment section as well. You can also feel free to post or update a location on the map directly. We’re busy posting as many of the schoolhouses that we know and hope it continues to grow.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS! PASS IT AROUND.
