Ottawa Valley Schools
Covering three dozen townships with historical facts of local one room schoolhouses supported with photographs from both then and now.
Student Stories
Perseverance, Pranks and Pride abound in the words of those who attended one room schoolhouses. Read some of their stories and find out just how tough, but ultimately rewarding, those early schooling days were.

A subjective look at the trials and tribulations of teachers of one room schoolhouses compared to their modern day compatriots. Many things have changed, but, of course, the core principals of teaching remain ever present.
Rules for Teachers in 1872
These rules might meet some resistance today. Especially number 6.

A Day in the Life
A little piece of fiction written to illustrate some of the happenings that went on during a typical day of one room schoolhouse student, Charlie Watson. Any resemblance to persons living or deceased is purely coincidental.
