OHIO ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSES - MONTGOMERY COUNTY *

THERE ARE 26 OF THE OLD ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSES ON THIS SITE. ORIGINALLY THERE WERE AROUND 100 OF THESE SCHOOLS IN THIS COUNTY DURING THE ERA OF THEIR PRIMARY USAGE FROM THE 1860s-1930s.

Over the past 15 years I have researched, to my personal limit, in numerous various sources, such as libraries, courthouses, historical societies, and such, to locate as many as possible, of the remaining old one room schoolhouses left in Montgomery County, Ohio. I have also driven hundreds of miles around almost ever road in the county to search for visible remains. This has taken hundred of man hours to obtain this information, and I have definitely tried to assure all information is accurate as possible. I am always open to viewers who can add information to this photoblog. This is a critical historic venue which can help educators and historical societies to preserve the one room schoolhouse era in not only our county, but in our state as well. Feel free to contact me with any information at wynpatriot953@aol.com. All photos were photographed by myself and are documented in my computer archive folders.

TO MAKE SURE IT TRULY WAS A ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE AT ONE TIME IN THE PAST, BEFORE ANY OF THE SCHOOLS WERE PLACED ON THIS SITE, I VERIFIED THE ACCURACY OF THE LOCATION THROUGH A DUPLICATE VERIFICATION PROCESS. ALSO, EVERY HOUSE THAT IS POSTED ON THIS SITE IS COMPRISED OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL,WHICH IS ALSO PERSONALLY VERIFIED. ALTHOUGH SOME HAVE HAD SIDING ADDED, OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS, THEY HAVE KEPT THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE UNDERNEATH OF IT. EVERYTHING THAT IS POSTED IS TRULY WHAT CONSISTS OF ALMOST ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL HOUSE.
