Indiana Community Celebrates One-Room Schoolhouse from 1879

September 18, 2014 – A small town in Indiana is celebrating the 25th anniversary of a project that gives children a break from modern technology and takes them back to a simpler time.  In 1989 the people of Hope, Indiana, began restoring a one-room schoolhouse built back in 1879.  Children, who may attend the school for an entire day, are asked to wear period clothing and bring their lunch in a basket or tin pail to enhance their experience.
