We would like to give you some information about one-room school houses. The Sunnyview school served children in grades one through eight during the years of 1882-1961. This one-room school house was originally located in Chippewa County. The school has been moved to the grounds of the Chippewa Valley Museum in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Visitors can tour the school and participate in hands-on learning experiences in the school.
The one-room school house was like an extended family. It was more like a big family. There was a lot of cooperation and care for one another. A former student who attended a one-room school house said that the students helped with keeping the school clean, brought in firewood from outside for the wood stove, and grew vegetables in a school garden to add to their lunches.
