Geocache Description:

You are looking for a LG camo pill bottle, in a wooded area, across from where a one room school house used to stand. There are occasional muggles about. Placed with permission of land owner and surrounding muggles were notified.  Just for fun add the school you attended and who was your favorite teacher to both logs!


This cache is in honor of the extinction of one room school houses. The one that stood just across the road (Pennsylvania School House) was established long before 1900 (if I ever find better info I will add) My great grandfather (born 1901) attened this school from 1907-'16. The grades were from K to 8th...that is it! Crazy! My grandmother ( born 1930) also attended this school from 1936-'48. She told me they had to carry water in buckets from the near by farm for drinking. They had a coal house outside to hold the coal for the stove in the middle of the room to keep warm in the winter, and there was two outhouses, one for the boys and one for the girls. It was shut down in 1950 because of a lack of students and the students that remained along with the students from Hickory Ridge (another one room school house near by) were sent to a larger school in Fairmount.

CONGRATS to Knapaholic and Lexytay for FTF!!!
