Missouri Directory of Historic and One-Room Schools available for purchase

(From University of Missouri Extension)

The "Missouri Directory of Historic and One-Room Schools" is now available for purchase on Amazon.com or at the Greene County MU Extension office.

The directory was created as part of the University of Missouri Extension community development program known as the Missouri Historic Schools Alliance. The book costs $15 and all proceeds benefit the administration of the Greene County Extension office.

The book details and photos on over 60 of the very best historic one-room schools in the state.

"The idea was to create a 'Who's Who' type of directory of historical and one-room schools in the state," said David Burton, civic communication specialist with MU Extension and author of the book. "We now have a high-quality book that highlights the very best historical schools."

Individual and organizations that own an historic or one-room school in Missouri that is restored or is in the process of being restored can submit information for use in future book revisions. Written submissions and photos can be submitted by email (burtond@missouri.edu) or mailed to David Burton, Greene County Extension, 2400 S. Scenic Ave, Springfield, Mo. 65807.
