The Log School House at Millard's Crossing was reconstructed in 1999 with the generous help from the Nacogdoches Junior Forum! 

​

The log school house reflects the rural practice of utilizing existing buildings for schools - which were leased, donated, or abandoned by their owners. A building was chosen for its convenient location within a 5 mile radius. Most children attended school for "short session" only, due to an extensive growing season and the demands of farm labor.

​

Today, visitors can experience an old-fashioned school lesson here and practice writing with a quill pen and ink. This hands-on activity is a favorite among our children and adult visitors alike!
