Ohio's Historic Schools

By now, it should be obvious that finding and photographing one-room schools is a passion of mine.  Sometimes I have a map to help locate these historic treasures and sometimes we come across them by sheer luck while driving the back country roads.  This blog post offers a small sampling of some of Ohio’s historic (but not always one-room) schools I have seen ... so far.
