These schools were not subscription schools, they were tax supported. Usually just by 1 or 2 mills. There wasn't much money available to spend on education. It was one of the last of the public one-room schools to close. Children love touring the Mercer County One-Room School Museum.
Children enjoy hearing about what it was like in the old days.
Admission is free. Plan to stay a few hours. There is much to see - an array of old textbooks, history books about Mercer County, souvenirs and pictures. There are also old county records and maps related to the Donation lands.
