Freeman School and National Park Service Restore Pioneer Site
National Park Service restored the Scheve family Pioneer School four miles west of Beatrice Nebraska. The 90 percent original brick structure includes rebuilt chimney roof and stone foundation. The site opened to the public soon as furnishings arrive while Homestead Monument supervises the project. The Freeman school’s 1899 religious exercises case influenced later U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
