Possible Uses

Home

We see the following possible uses for the school:

• Teachers bring their students into the school, so that they can see, first hand, what education was like in the early part of the last century.  Students would also see a teacherage and horse barn.  The BHS could supply trained docents to provide instruction in various topics of local historic interest.
• Teachers bring their students to the school site, to do simple science projects, experience a prairie pond, wild grasses, insects, birds feeding, etc
• Rental space for small groups and parties.  The lower level will have walk-out patio, two large windows, a wheelchair accessible bathroom and a kitchen.
• Meeting place for professional development days.  The facility could handle a group of 50, 25 up and 25 down.  The lower level will have high speed Internet, and built-in projection screen.
• Drop-in place for locals during their morning walks.  Lower level could have a few comfy chairs, books and magazines, plus coffee maker.  We are considering putting a measured walking track around the adjoining 4.4acres, with benches and eventually trees.  Identified trees and plants could be provided for school groups.
