Country School

District #90 One Room Country School

This one-room schoolhouse was moved from its original location outside of Evansville and is furnished with items you would expect to find in a country school.

According to an entry in the Evansville Enterprise on December 2, 1898, “Lumber was bought in Evansville on Tuesday with which to build the new school house in District No. 90….”

Bertina Thompson (Alf Thompson’s sister) was the first teacher at this school when it opened on January 30, 1899.
