Completed in 1992, the Education Building houses the FSU School of Education and the School of Nursing and Allied Health Administration. It also houses the Master of Arts in Teaching faculty. The One Room School House, located at the bottom of the hill, preserves and honors Fairmont State's earliest origins as a private teacher-training school. Retired Fine Arts faculty member Barry Snyder created the sculpture called "The Spirit of Ethel Ferrell" in front of the schoolhouse as a tribute to the dedication of early teachers. The sculpture represents Ethel Ferrell, who graduated from Fairmont Normal School in 1919 and her riding horse "Bird."
Are you seeing double? Nope, that is just this unique geocache! Unfortunately, the doors are locked, but perhaps you would be able to find the key, gaining exclusive access to the school house. Please be gentle with this cache; no more than the strength of your pinky finger will need to be used to reveal the key. Once the log is signed, please replace everything back exactly as you found it. Remember to demonstrate extreme stealth when finding this cache.
