@805ROADKING Hey you're welcome!

There's a bar down the street from that used to be an old school house. I think it was last in use as a school around 1967 when the 1st modern school building was built in my municipality that year.

[805ROADKING]

@Vinylrecordsneverdie That sounds cool!! I never heard of an old school house being turned into a bar!!☺

[craig1974]

@805ROADKING yeah that does sound pretty cool. In the next city near me an old trucking terminal was turned into a bar called the terminal.

[805ROADKING]

@craig1974 that's cool!! i've heard of an old Church turned into a tittie bar once, but that was back in the 70's. i don't know if they could do that today!!☺

Where is that, Roadking? My family is from Lehigh County, and my grandmother had an aunt that taught in one of those little one-room schoolhouses, until she died in the TB epidemics.

[805ROADKING]

@userunavailable3095 That was in Upper Edelman in Belfast PA. on the corner of Bangor Rd (Rt 191) and School Rd.

[userunavailable3095]

@805ROADKING I wish I could remember which school she taught. I doubt there is any way to find that information. Grandma spent her last years at Moravian Hall Square, which is only a couple of miles from this little school. It was in those last years that she showed me the little school where her aunt had taught, and it may well have been this one. I remember her showing me one near Hawk Mountain as well, which was near the church that she'd attended with her grandparents.

[805ROADKING]

@userunavailable3095 Try calling the phone number on the sign in the video, they might have some info on who taught there. There probably weren't that many. Each teacher probably did a 20-30 year stint.

[userunavailable3095]

@805ROADKING That's an idea.  If she taught before she was married, they may have those records. I don't know her married name. My grandmother missed going to one of these by one year. She went to the school in Emmaus Junction the year it opened. The school she would have attended became Keck's Sunday School.

The good old days when you could paddle the kids and not go to jail. Schools today woldnt be the way they are if things were still the same.

[805ROADKING]

@jasongiddensviper478 Yeah back then Kids had respect for there Teacher. Now they would rather beat them or shoot them!!

[Soulgotha]

There's a nice one preserved in Hershey as well. I may get a video of it sometime. In third or fourth grade our class took a day trip there and we conducted all of our classes exactly as they would have back in the day. It was a lot of fun!

[805ROADKING]

@Soulgotha That sounds like a pretty cool experience for a young Kid!!☺

[805ROADKING]

@lonerman270 Especially on a 90 degree day in may or june!!☺

[edzgarage]

Did you go to school there? lol

[805ROADKING]

@edzgarage Nah!! I was schooled in a Covered Wagon!!☺

[edzgarage]

@805ROADKING LOL!!!!

[kookiemoose]

nice leaning privy. Probably a more comfortable seat than those desk chairs, probably warmer too.

[805ROADKING]

@kookiemoose That privy would be a real luxury out on the trail eh Buddy!!☺

[kookiemoose]

@805ROADKING It beats latching onto a branch with one hand, while trying to take aim on a hole you just dug, but can't quite see. heck yea!

[805ROADKING]

@kookiemoose Not to mention using a handfull of leaves or poison ivy!!☺

[kookiemoose]

@805ROADKING I just find a white birch, rear up to it, and jump up and down. 

[JDMowerGuy1998]

i live near one of those.

[RamblinAround]

It's cool that they've preserved it so well. It's great for kids to see how it used to be.

[805ROADKING]

@RamblinAround It reminds me of when we were Kids. We use to walk ten miles up hill in a blizzard to get to school!!☺

[mbyr31]

Those must have been the good 'ol days my grandparents always told me about. Besides the shitter being outside, everything else woulda been cool! But, I guess, when ya gotta go, you gotta go! LOL!

[805ROADKING]

@mbyr31 Lol!! Yeah that antique Port-a-potty wouldn't work for me either!!☺

[BrittanyNicole1990]

[805ROADKING]

@BrittanyNicole1990 Lol!! If you were about to shit your draws that would look like the Taj Mahal to ya!!☺
