Vintage Classroom

Vintage classroom is a free program offered to all Island area third grade classes. Students are transported back to what life would have been like in a one room schoolhouse in 1892. This beloved program teaches children about the history of education, the types of jobs that would have been available to them at the time, and responsibilities and expectations for behavior. It has become so popular that adults are asking for the opportunity to experience the program as well. Collaborating with Barn Arts Collective, students experience a mix of fun and old-fashioned discipline with a strict schoolmarm, guest fishermen, quarrymen, musicians, and games.
