One-room Schoolhouse- Oswego, NY
Another view of this historic one-room schoolhouse which was originally built in 1830 and was located on Franklin Ave. The building was relocated in 1862 to Thompson Ave and eventually closed by the school district in 1913. After that it was used as a chicken coop for awhile. The folks at SUNY Oswego had the building relocated, to its current site, and their maintenance crew made improvements to the structure. The schoolhouse depicts how students received an education in the late 1800s. Inside there are antique school desks, an old wood stove, a display of vintage books and a map dating back to 1817. There are also two mannequins, one of a student and another of a teacher, both outfitted in attire appropriate for the late 1800s. The building today also serves as the O'Mara Welcome Center. Located on Route 104 West in Oswego, NY. (O3/30)
