A place where you can step back into time!!





WELCOME





Welcome to the Country School Museum! Where you can step back into time and see what it was like for children to go to school in a simple time! Boys and girls of all ages from 1st grade through 8th grade attended school in one room schools like these! Learn about their unique schedule of learning!

Horses also on site to learn what it was like to ride a horse "to school" Contact us to set up an appointment! We have some very safe horses who will be patient with new riders.

Mike and Valerie Brunhoeber chose to save both schools for which they were relocated to their Ranch. Both schools can be found on the Kansas state Register of Historic Places. Both schools can also be found on the Country School Association of America's national registry.
