The Pike County Historical Society is pleased to offer a fun and educational summer program for children ages 8 and up at the historic

Schocopee one-room schoolhouse located in Apple Valley Village.

Participants will step back into the late 1800s and experience what school  was like for students who learned, worked, and played in a single classroom.

The Importance of One-Room Schools

One-room schoolhouses were at the heart of rural community life. In one small classroom, children in grades one through eight learned together from a single teacher, practicing reading, writing, and arithmetic before moving on to subjects such as science, geography, and literature.

Step Into a School Day from Long Ago

In this PCHS program led by our wonderful Interns, we make the chores fun, learn a little bit, play some classic 1800's games and have a fun historical time in an authentic 1860's schoolhouse!

Registration is required by the 29th for the program and it will be offered on Friday July 31st  from 11am-1pm. 

Let us know you are coming!  Please call 570-296-8126 and leave your name, and number of children attending; or email pikemuse@ptd.net
