Updated List of items being sought for the Pease One-Room School

BAHA School Before & After

Most of these items will be used to create a replica of a “small classroom” as students might have experienced in the early 1900s.  Others will be displayed throughout the schoolhouse.

  • Early US Flag [for wall mount with pole]
  • Hand-held slate boards; Erasers & box of chalk
  • Organ stool
  • Old textbooks – K-8 grade levels [pre-1940]
  • Kerosene lamps [wall-mounted style and hanging style]
  • Water dispenser [5 gal. pottery with spigot or similar]
  • Table model, battery-powered Radio [for “School On the Air” programs]
  • Lunch buckets, pails, boxes
  • Globe [pre-40s would be interesting - we have one dated to the 70s]
  • Cursive writing scroll and other classroom teaching resources
  • Small teacher’s desk or table

Thanks to donations from individuals and the Oulu Museum, we have a nice variety of desks!
