THE SCHOOLHOUSE

An early 20th century schoolhouse built in Brasstown Valley of Oconee County, this exhibit is a perfect spot for mock classes from over a century ago. A favorite spot for school tours, this building was disassembled and rebuilt at the Museum in 2015.

PLAN YOUR VISIT

The Museum is open to people of all ages and there is something for everyone, from farmers to those who have never been a part of agriculture before. However, please note that some exhibits discuss sensitive topics (i.e., tobacco and slavery) so we recommend parental guidance for children under 13.
