Restoration of the
1870 Howard Schoolhouse has begun!
The Howard Schoolhouse, located at the 1859 Jail Museum, is in desperate need of repairs.
Foundation work, new windows and paint, a new door…there are several updates needed to have the schoolhouse looking its best.
The first step of the process, the foundation work, began in early October. The schoolhouse was lifted off its foundation and placed in the lot behind the 1859 Jail Museum. It made its move back in mid-December.
Be sure to follow the 1859 Jail Museum on Facebook for updates about the restoration.
