This historic one room Kansas schoolhouse is located at 28001 Hinerville Road, Alma, Kansas 66401, only 1/8 mile off I-70 on Highway 99. It looks like the building was used as a retail business most recently.
When ever I run across a one room school house, I stop and take a picture. Like big wooden barns, they are fast disappearing and I feel the need to document them before they completely disappear from the landscape. I am fortunate so many in Kansas were constructed of native stone and have weathered time and Kansas weather well.
I have loved one room schoolhouses since I was a child and my Grandma told me stories about attending a one room schoolhouse. She rode a horse to school and talked about plodding through snow drifts as high as the horse. Her sister, my Great-Aunt Agnes taught in a one room schoolhouse.
Schoolhouses evoke sweet memories of a simpler time. I hope you enjoy these pictures. Feel free to contact me with stories, pictures or locations of other Kansas schoolhouses at ksfarmgirl@live.com or to request permission to link to this site or use photos.

I am much like that . . . that is, I have to compulsively stop and take a photograph of any one-room schoolhouse I come across. I come across them fairly frequently as I often roam about the Kansas (and other states) countryside looking for these gems from the past.
