Built in 1834 and constructed of limestone blocks and walnut timbers, Stone School was a classroom for students until the fall of 1927. From 1837 until 1841, the school also served as a meeting place for the Zoar Baptist Church that is presently 5th Street Baptist Church in Hannibal. Today the school still stands in all of its original splendor, featuring all of the school's original structures and hardware. Stone School Inn is open year-round and is located two miles north of Hannibal, off Highway 61 on Marion County Road 409. In addition to the bed and breakfast, Stone School offers private lunch and dinner during the week for up to six guests at a time.
Reservations are limited because of special meal preparation.
Call at least a week in advance for availability and to discuss a personal menu for the occasion. The private dinners are a great opportunity to spend time with that special someone. The bed and breakfast fills up fast, so reservations are highly recommended. Guests are encouraged to pay by cash or personal check. Lula Belle's is located at 111 Bird Street, and her history is as intriguing as the evening you will spend in the farmer's daughter's room.
