At the end of the day, or
on weekends, the schoolhouse
might host entire families at
a glorious Christmas concert
or a celebratory end-of-the-
year picnic. The entire
community might be invited to
a fundraising Pie or Box
Social, events which didn’t
end until dancing feet grew

weary in the wee hours of the
morning.
   This Community Memories
exhibit at the Caroline
Wheels of time Museum
explores vividly in
artifacts, photos and stories
the country schools of a time
long ago.
