Longwoods One-Room School Program

Field Trip for Schools and Youth Groups
The little red schoolhouse at Longwoods is once again filled with children. “A Day at a One-Room Schoolhouse” is a new field trip option for fourth grade students. The Historical Society of Talbot County has been working with the Talbot School District to create a day in the year 1900 that also meets modern state curriculum standards. Funding for this project was provided by the Talbot County Garden Club.
