Step back in time to the oldest,
restored, original,
continuous-in-use school in Alabama.

Experience class as it would have been in 1902.

Hands-on history begins with learning about chores of yesteryears, pumping water, and looking inside an outhouse replica.   The day ends with girls making a corn shuck doll and the boys making a spinner button toy as a keepsake for their hands-on journey in history.

Participating in this hands-on history lesson have been elementary students from public and private schools, future teachers' club, parents and a group of college graduate students from a local university.

$2.00 Donation is charged for field trips and tours.
