The Leet-Cristopher school

When the school was closed down in 1968, Richard Christopher, a neighbor and former pupil, bought the building for a dollar. He moved it on a tractor to his home and had it on his property for thirty-five years. He also secured the school’s inventory, like the students’ desks, the teacher’s desk, the organ, the slate tablets, the textbooks, the workbooks, the projects and the globes.

Christopher donated all of it to the museum and, in 2015, the schoolhouse was rebuilt here.
