4. The Log School House - This structure was built to replace the original log school that was housed here until February 1999. Due to the poor condition of the original, the Nacogdoches Junior Forum graciously donated funds for this replication. The log school reflects the practice, common in the rural areas, of utilizing existing buildings for schools – which were either leased, donated or abandoned by their owners. Buildings were chosen for convenient location within walking distance (five miles). Most children attended school for “short sessions” only, due to an extensive growing season and the very real need for their labor.
