Towanda Daily Review, 4 April 2009
Schoolhouse moved to East Canton
The Hoagland School has been moved to the Manley-Bohlayer Farm in East
Canton, and work is continuing on the one-room schoolhouse. Rekindle the
Spirit Inc. in Canton is seeking memorabilia of the school, and items about
any one- or two-room schoolhouses. The items will put into a booklet about
“schoolhouse memories.” Plans are under way for an open house for the schoolhouse
on Sept. 13, according to Roberta Arnold of the Canton area. For more information,
call Arnold at (570) 673-3474. Originally, the schoolhouse was located
along Towanda Creek in LeRoy Township. Bob and Mary Jennings donated it.
Arnold said donations so far include a pot-belly stove and an antique door.
In addition, workers are reconstructing an old school bell to be put on
top of the school. “It’s starting to take shape now,” she said. |
