The two-room schoolhouse dated from 1878. Both the teacher and the students followed harsh rules, but only the students faced physical punishment. The second room was the teacher’s residence. Male teachers were allowed one day for courting (two if they went to church on Sunday). Female teachers were fired for unseemly behavior, such as getting married.












In a plaza were the butcher planks, an adobe brick making site, a butchering table and a store. Nearby was a wheelwright shop. Mills on the property were used to grind corn and wheat into grain.
Our guide, Russ, explains the butchering process.
