Boogersburg School Fall Open House

Boogersburg School Fall Open House

Join us for a journey back in time at Boogersburg School’s Fall Open House! Stop by any time on Sunday, September 7, between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. and experience the historic charm of the one-room schoolhouse that once welcomed students during the late Victorian Era, two World Wars, and the Great Depression.

Now it offers children of all ages a glimpse back in time. Boogersburg School is often overlooked by passers-by. Pausing for a moment in its midst reminds us of a simpler time when children walked to school across open fields, studied side-by-side with siblings, and learned morals and the “Three R’s” with McGuffey Readers.

Bring your family and friends to share stories of attending a one-room school, learn about local history, and try your hand at arithmetic lessons. Don’t forget to ring the bell and enjoy recess in the field! You may even get the chance to meet Boogersburg School alumni. Don’t miss this opportunity to step into the living history of Centre County’s educational past.

The Boogersburg School is located at 1021 Fox Hill Road between Toftrees and University Park Airport. No RSVP required.
