“A Day at Seneca Schoolhouse with Historic Medley District”
with Julie Shapiro and Knight Kiplinger
Tuesday, October 6 @ 2:00 p.m.
Join us for a journey back to 1880, to experience what elementary education was like in a one-room country schoolhouse. Presenters Julie Shapiro and Knight Kiplinger will virtually guide viewers though the inside of the Seneca Schoolhouse and showcase 19th century school artifacts and images. The Seneca Schoolhouse, built by neighborhood donations in 1865, is Montgomery County’s oldest one-room school, a local public school until 1910. Operated today by Historic Medley District, the Seneca school is a vibrant “living history” experience for children throughout the region.
