Collins
School, a former one-room schoolhouse, lets our third graders experience life in
the late 1800s as they attend classes for a day at the Xenia Township (Ohio)
historic landmark.
The schoolhouse
was built in 1886 and stopped operation in 1944. It was refurbished and brought
back for use in 1986 by the late Helen Bryson Brantley and her husband, Virgil.
Helen Brantley had attended Collins school as a child. Children on the field
trip dress in period clothes, have lessons, eat lunch and do crafts. The
building is used during the spring and fall months for this active educational
experience.
