DAR Lecture Series: One-Room Schoolhouses in Maryland
About
From the end of the Civil War to the 1920s, the one-room schoolhouse was the most common public building on Maryland’s rural landscape. In the public imagination, these small red buildings epitomized American democracy. This presentation explores the variability within this class of architecture, finding in each building clues to unique local histories, as well as conflicts among educational theories that continue to this day.
