School Interior
On the site of the school (at the Jacobsen farm site)
were two outhouses, an attached wood/coal shed and a small two-stall horse barn.
Fixtures inside the school: Teacher’s desk and chair, student desks with ink
well, a drawer under the seat of the char for books, crayons, etc.
A United States wall flag, a kerosene stove for heating soup or hot
chocolate, pump organ, kerosene lamps that hung on the wall, a large wood/coal
burning pot belly stove with jacket (which prevented the children from getting
too close to the hot stove and getting burned), crock with spigot for drinking
water, pull down map, a wall clock and hand bell on the teacher’s desk.
