NOLAN RIVER SCHOOL
Records show a school was at Wardville in 1855. The original school surely was a log cabin yet no photos exist. In 2012, a project began to once again build a school. A school reflecting schools from 1840-1900 was designed. The one room school was designed to host 30 students. The interior is period correct. The school has no electricity. A wood stove is included with chalkboards, maps, desks and all materials as would be found in a period school.
In this unique environment school is taught to students today just at it would have been in 1868. Over 1000 students come to the school each year for a full day of class as they would have a century and a half ago. Classes include reading, writing and arithmetic in period style. Students from 8 to 85 can enjoy a feeling of education in historic times. McGuffy Readers and Blueback Spellers are the books used in this environment.
