The Six-Room Schoolhouse
Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
In 1869, Sue Warner started the first free school at the Warner kitchen in the old Blake Inn. The following year, the school moved to a tenant house on the Brown farm. In 1872, a one-room schoolhouse was built, and Hiram Warner became the first teacher in the new building. The increasing population required a two-room building in 1897, so the original building was moved to a nearby lot and used as the first store in Mount Hope. Later, a six-room building replaced the two-room structure.
