Old Stone School - Ohio Open Doors

Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a student in the 1800s was like? Would you like to have shared your classroom with four or five other grades, completed lessons on a chalk board, or maybe walked several miles to and from school each day? Dating back to the 1840s, it is the oldest schoolhouse in Akron. These and other interesting bits of history await you at The Old Stone School on Saturday, September 19th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm.
