Interior of the Lower Fox Creek Schoolhouse
The interior of the Lower Fox Creek Schoolhouse has been restored as much as possible back to its original 1882 appearance. Although no original furnishings survive to the present, period furnishings from other one room schoolhouses in the area were acquired by the fourteen garden clubs in the Mideast District of the Garden Clubs of America, to complete the interior restoration. The preserve conducts programs for school groups recreating the experience of attending classes in a one-room prairie schoolhouse.
