THE
PIKE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Schocopee Schoolhouse
The schoolhouse was disassembled, then reconstructed on its present site, during the mid-1970’s. It still houses the original wood stove which heated the structure during the winter, the original teacher’s "desk," primitive "blackboards" common during the late 19th century, some antique "textbooks," several kinds of student desks, and a 36 star American flag which was used after 1865 when Nevada became a state. The original outhouse, used by the students, still stands behind the school building today. Preserved and maintained by the Society, the Schocopee Schoolhouse is open to the public on weekends during the summer season, staffed primarily by community volunteers coordinated by the staff at Apple Valley.
