The Evergreen Mountain Area Historical Society offers an authentic experience in a 1920’s one-room schoolhouse at Medlen School on South Turkey Creek Road. Built in 1886, the school has been restored in its original location.
Children who have completed grades 1-6 share in this unique opportunity to:
EXPERIENCE a typical country school with several grades;
LEARN “the four R’s” – reading, ‘riting, ‘rithmetic and recitation – just as children of the 1920’s did; and
PARTICIPATE in the games they played, the songs they sang, and the fun they had!
