All the houses in this village are historic and were brought from other parts of the country. This school house was from District No.6 - built in 1845 from Manhassett, NY

It was wonderful to walk back in time and see how things were done without the help of all the high tech equipment we have now, so I'll try to break this series down by sections...

hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane!!

Very enlightening series. It lets you appreciate what we have today and maybe envy the simplicity of an earlier time, too.

A wonderful beginning to another interesting arm chair adventure with my buddy, Angela. I always look forward to these and enjoy every one of them. I hope you and David didn't need to stand in line very long for the single seater rest room. Well done as always.

Thanks Carol and what you say is so true... can you imagine the kids from now having to give up all their high tech stuff and go back to simpler times!! Heavens... what would they do with themselves, they might actually have to talk to each other!! lol...
Glad you enjoyed this set!!

LOL... first let me clear the air, I went with a photo friend and not David, on one of the hottest days of summer... and no, we didn't have to wait on line to get any splinters on our butts from those outhouses!! LOL...
Glad you enjoyed this set, John and I'm happy that you're going to follow along from the comfort of your home!! fyi: there were outhouses with four holes!!! But they told us still only one went in at a time and when one hole was full, they'd slide over to the next!! Can you imagine!!!! lol!!
Enjoy the day, my friend!!

That's the story they told you, Angela, but I can picture four old geezers like me in there all at the same time reading the newspaper and shooting the breeze. No old guy can pass up a four seater. 😄😄

John, I'm glad you're joining the tour and that you enjoyed it so far!! Can you imagine if they gave kids these days a slate board to take notes on, oh, the horrors!!!! LOL!!!
