I collect old school desks. I would be willing to sell a few due to lack of space. I am very interested how you acquired a one room school house as this is a dream of mine to find one and turn it into a museum. Is Beavercreek Township anywhere near Columbus??Any information you may have in finding out about available one room school houses in Illinois or South Eastern Wisconsin would be greatly appreciated.

Very documented with the local historical society. I will be forced to sell it soon. It is 1.5 floor cape cod one room but now divided as it is a private use residence now. 2300 sq ft. 5 bed 2 bath on 1.84 acr. seperate large 3 car garage building. Located in Beavercreek Township of Ohio. If anyone wants a great restore project to further the real deal school house heritage please contact me for details. This is a great family home with history in one of the best school systems and close to shopping however waking each morning is definite peaceful county living. I am giving up my dream so someone else may enjoy! mavigeant@aol.com I own the Ludlow School House of 1840. Very documented with the local historical society. I will be forced to sell it soon.

I've been told this is the only original one room schoolhouse still operating as a regular classroom in the state. The school and staff are fantastic. The rest of the school complex is within feet of this schoolhouse and is monitored for security purposes. The children are very fortunate to have such a rich kindergarten experience.

This site is on the NJ State Historic Register and is known now as the Nelden-Roberts Stonehouse. In 1827-1828, John D. Everitt held three month teaching contracts to conduct an English Day School there. The property was acquired in the 1970's, after having been converted and used as a residence for some time, and is currently owned by the Dept. of the Interior. It is situated within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and is maintained and exhibited by the Montague Association for Restoration of Community History. A nearby, surviving clapboard schoolhouse was built in the latter part of the 1800's - called the Brick House School. That is currently a private residence. In 1955, the last one-room schoolhouses still in use in Montague closed and a three-room consolidated school opened along Highway 206, which has been expanded upon and continues to serve as Montague Township Elementary.

It is restored and maintained but by who I don't know. It is on southbranch road. I live in florida,but have returned to the school at times to relive those good memories. I also attended another one room schoolhouse on cedergrove road in branchburg township which is also standing and the same vintage as the southbranch school. I believe it is used as a municipal office for the branchburg gov. Please contact me for additional help. there exists today, a one room schoolhouse which I attended in the 1940s in southbranch, branchburg township, new jersey.
