Work nearly complete on replica of 19th-century Murrysville schoolhouse

By lowber on March 13, 2020

Blackboards in a replica of the 19th-century Murrysville one-room schoolhouse off West Pike Street were recovered from another one-room schoolhouse in the municipality, which was torn down in the 1930s.

A crew of Amish carpenters may have been brought in to build a replica of the 1836 schoolhouse off of West Pike Street in Murrysville, but Murrysville Historical Preservation Society members didn’t need to venture far to find other period-appropriate trappings.
