One-Room School Houses

Vol 3, Iss 6 Enid, Oklahoma -

Rhonda McCarver with the Museum of the Cherokee Strip in Enid is working on a project concerning 'One-Room School houses' in early Oklahoma.

Rhonda is developing a display in the 'Old Turkey Creek School house' on the museum grounds.  She hopes to include every aspect of a one-room school house in early Oklahoma (paying particular attention to the 1910 era because of our one-room school house living history program). 

McCarver says, "On March 24 (Saturday) at 2:00 p.m., in Enid, Oklahoma, we will host an open-forum at the Museum of the Cherokee Strip to gather information on one-room school houses."

Anyone who has photographs, memorbilia, even stories to share for this display is encouraged to attend.

Rhonda will share her experiences thus far with the Turkey Creek Project at the museum. It will open the floor for others to share personal stories, stories from family members, or any other helpful information for this display.

Go dig through those old albums... Anyone with photographs that pertain to one-room school houses in Oklahoma is encouraged to bring them.  They have equipment to copy such photographs without creating any damage from ultra-violet lights (if permission is given). 

Rhonda plans to document all information and give appropriate credit . She hopes to make this display one that everyone in Oklahoma can be proud of, while also giving those who contributed information and photographs a personal sense of pride.

She says, "I'd like to encourage everyone interested to attend, even if you just want to 'listen in'."

Rhonda goes on to say, "I have a large map that I plan to display that has the names and locations of the one-room school houses... but I wanted to take it a step further by placing a face with the name so to speak."

 PEGASYS (the Enid television station) will attend the open forum on March 24th to document verbal histories of one-room school houses in Oklahoma.

Rhonda hopes to see LOTS of people there! The Oklahoma Historical Society as well as the Sons and Daughters of the Cherokee Strip Pioneers will send invitations to this event.  Anyone with information or questions regarding this project can contact...Rhonda McCarver
