THANKS TO THE BALDWIN WOMEN'S CLUB, THE MILLROCK SCHOOL WAS OPENED TO THE PUBLIC YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. NANCY AND I ENJOYED OUR VISIT, THAT INCLUDED A POPCORN BALL. THE SCHOOL IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF BALDWIN. THE ROOF BELL WORKS FINE AND WAS RINGING ON AND OFF DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE STONE STRUCTURE HAS THICK WALLS. IT HAS A WORKING VICTROLA 78RPM RECORD PLAYER AND I TOOK A VIDEO OF IT PLAYING A CHRISTMAS CAROL. I'LL HAVE IT POSTED ON KMAQ'S HOME PAGE SOON AND KEEP IT THERE UNTIL CHRISTMAS.
SORRY TO SAY, I NEVER ATTENDED A ONE-ROOM SCHOOL. BUT THEY EDUCATED MOST AMERICANS UNTIL THE 50'S AND 60'S.
