A nice reminder of what education was like back in the day. Worth the quick trip through.

The ticket for this doesn't cost much (I think it was $5 or $6), but it's not worth $0.01. The schoolhouse is a one-room building with an upstairs that you cannot go into (you can see it via mirrors). It's great to look at from the outside, but no need to go into it.

I enjoyed this place. Sure people say skip it and save money. But hey-why not experience it and enjoy your self. The robotic classroom scene was kinda neat.

Education has come a long way! It was neat to see the old school and it's surrounding property. I can't imagine what it would have been like to teach back then.

At first we didn 't think this tour would be much but we were so surprised. You're on your own and it is very coo - now this is a place to take the kids. It is very well staged and there is a restful courtyard to sit for a spell.

I wish that tours would be given here and more so that you learned more about the schooling time from the 1700's

I believe its $20 for two people, I wouldn't pay more than what I did to Groupon for $9. Its great history, but its SMALL..... you will be done in 30 minutes or less.
