Peachfields

Peachfields is hosting a Virtual Tour of the oldest one-room school in New Jersey which is located in Mount Holly.

There is a request for a donation with registration. The Zoom Tour is January 12 and you can visit peachfields.org for more information and to register. Years ago, a teacher friend and I were fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit the one-room schoolhouses of this area of South Jersey from Burlington County to parts of Camden County. I have always loved the One-Room School houses of our nation's history and what they represent in the great experiment of educating a nation. My personal favorite one-room school house is in Greenwich, way down south in historic Greenwich on the Cohansey River. It isn't as old as the one in Mount Holly though. My second favorite is the Clara Barton one-room school in Bordentown which I have visited on those special days when historic tours had it open to the public. Happy Trails! Jo ann wrightj45@yahoo.com
