Geocache Description:

This yellow historical restoration of a one room school house is called the James School and was a typical country school.

The James School was built in 1917 and was in operation until 1948 when it became the Hillside Gospel Mission until 1970. It sat there for almost twenty year before work began bringing it back to what it is today, living history. Peek in the windows and you'll see the school just as it might have been when children filled those seats reading from their books, the stove in the middle glowing with warmth, the teacher pacing up and down the rows, and one or two students day-dreaming out the long row of windows. Just imagine if those walls could talk, what stories they'd tell. The restoration of this old school is marvelous and has been filled with furniture and items of the era. Give the pump a try it works also. The cache is located behind the school where the children would have waited of school to open. Once you have located the cache please return it to the location for others. Make sure you sign the log and enjoy the location.
