This was a schoolhouse near the fairgrounds a bit west of Walla Walla. I took the “stairs” photo through the locked-door-window. How many of you, and certainly of your ancestors, went to a rural schoolhouse like this?
Can’t you just hear the hundreds of footsteps clomping up and down those wooden stairs?
Stop by the old tavern with the beautiful back bar in Kahlotus. Was told it was brought in by covered wagon. It’s so pretty. Had a beer there with hubby once in 1974-1978.i love those old farming communities.
I attended a one room school for the first eight grades. Northern Minnesota and we walked 3/4 mile to get there. Outdoor privy and a big wood stove in one corner of the room. I was lucky and had wonderful teachers the whole time.

I went to kindergarten at “Center School” on Vashon Island. The bathrooms were outside in a separate building. At least they were flush toilets!
