Memory of Oak Grove School’s loghouse and era
The Oak Grove school in south Seventy Six township began in a log building with backless seats and narrow wall desks. In 1859 60 pupils, led by Co Furnas, studied alongside families who later became pioneers. A later frame school replaced the loghouse while memories endure of teachers, marbles games, and civic lyceums.
