Rural and One Room School Collection

The Douglas County KS Rural and One Room School Collection was contributed by Raymond Stone.

There were 84 rural and one room schools in Douglas County. I have provided the location, and a little history from my research, and from "Rural Schools and Schoolhouses of Douglas County" by Goldie Piper Daniels, alphabetically on all of these schools. There are over 40 of these treasures still in existence. I have provided photos of those that I have discovered. Please feel free to comment, share your photos, memories, and invite your friends. Most of all ENJOY!
