Old Schoolhouse
Today, I took my buddies to visit an historical schoolhouse in Maryville, TN built in 1794. It's the Sam Houston Schoolhouse, and happens to be quite an adorable site. It is a one room schoolhouse and was built of hand-hewn poplar logs, It has long open air windows that pull down to create desks in its small interior. Mr. Agrestic told me about it, as he visited it many times as he was growing up. I have been on a hunt for some old barns, or natural wood built structures to use in photographs. I want to put them in my new Agrestic Frames that I'll be hanging in our family room. Though I didn't get the perfect shot I was looking for, I thought I'd share some with you here. When Mr. Houston began teaching here, he had 8 students. Just two months later, he had 35. It was an expensive little venture for these parents who were paying a whopping $8 every year for their child to attend. This might possibly be one of the students who was kicked out for bad behavior :)
