1800's SCHOOL HOUSE
Volunteers return to the classroom every Spring and Fall to educate Lake Central School Corporation's fourth-graders about what it would have been like to attend school back in the 1800's. The school which opened in 1853 and closed in 1907 was previously known as St. John Township District School #2 was moved from its original location on the corner of Old St. John Road and 77th Avenue to its current location behind the St. John Township Trustees' Office and Community Center.
