ORIGINS

I grew up in a small Ohio town and I rode the school bus from 1st through 12th grades. My bus ride always included a country road on which every school day we saw a one-room brick school house. (SW corner of Stine Rd and Enon-Xenia Pike). As the years went by I watched this wonderful, familiar friend fall apart. After I married the school really began to deteriorate. Every time we visited the area I would want to take a photo of the school but never did. Finally, when we went specifically for the task, the school was gone. It was a huge loss for me and, since that time, whenever we pass a one-room school it is a joy to stop to take a picture or two. Thus, our collection here and the blog with schools in other states.

Maple Grove School

Used ca.1849 to 1955.  From SR2 west of Ft. Madison, go north on Golden Rd about 1.7 miles.  It is just north of 235th Ave on the west side of Golden Rd.  Information I was given shows it as having been a German School.  New chimney on the north side.
