Oliver Schoolhouse, 1863

Donated by Dr. Ward and Dr. Virginia Oliver. Ward Oliver was a former student and teacher at the school.  This schoolhouse was moved to our site from its original location between Summit and Charlotteville where it served as a common school for about 80 years.  The building is furnished circa 1890-1914 and visiting children are encouraged to sit at the desks and use sample lesson materials provided for great photo opportunities.  Behind the schoolhouse is one of its original two outhouses.
