Description

Story's Creek School located on the grounds of Alley Mill, a National Park, allows a glimpse of a time gone by. The little white, one room school house is an image of pioneer education near and dear to most Americans. In 1902 it had 42 students. It exemplifies a simpler time, a time when life was less stressful and education more effective. The one room school house is not the exclusive property of pioneers. They continued in use in some areas until the very recent past. They were in widespread use in rural Missouri until 1957, when they were consolidated with town school districts. In Missouri Ozarks, consolidation took place around the end of the 1950's, with many one room schools operating into 1959. A few parochial one room schools continue in Missouri, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other states to this day.
