SCHOOL #5/HANCOCK COUNTY

JACKSON TOWNSHIP #5

Unknown story on this school. It is located in Jackson Twsp.,

however the building's identification says Amanda Twsp.

School is not located on any map for this location, so it could have been

moved from another location and placed to now where it sits.

(April 2, 2012)

This home was just around the corner of where an old schoolhouse use to sit. Also, it is within a couple of miles from where a couple other schools are now. Likely, perhaps children who lived here attended those schools.

A very interesting old home located about a mile around the corner of District #2 school, and within a couple miles of other schools. Quite possible the family who lived here attended that very school.

COVERED BRIDGES AND COURT HOUSES

Since the culture of the one room school houses was during the late 1800s and early 1900s, I decided to also put on this blog the the relevant architecture that the school children  would have been directly exposed to. Which would be the covered bridges that the children would have actually crossed, and the county court houses that they would have certainly seen on their trip into town.

BROWN BRIDGE/BROWN COUNTY

PIKE TOWNSHIP

Bridge was in the center of 3 schools, it was the only connection between them. Quite obviously it had to be used by the students of these schools.

MCCAFFERTY BRIDGE/BROWN COUNTY

PERRRY TOWNSHIP

This covered bridge was right off of US RT-50, and was centered within 3 miles of at least 5 schools.

Another covered bridge that was in the center of at least 5 schools. I am quite sure many students crossed through this bridge, or took refuge from a rain shower on their way home.
