Picture of the Day for August 29, 2022

Children have started to make their return for the new school year, but not too many will have their lessons taught in a one-room schoolhouse. This schoolhouse was built in 1915 for the Fairview school district in the Town of Tripp, Bayfield County, Wisconsin. In 1952 it was moved to the Port Wing to serve as the music room for the old South Shore School until that school was replaced by a new building. The Fairview school then traveled a few blocks and served as a law office. It made a fourth move in 2016, more than a 100 years after being built, to the Oulu Heritage Center where it now serves again as a one-room school for classes in the summer.
