That is literally it s name which is so quaint. The little white schoolhouse. It was built over 170 years ago, back in 1853. That unassuming little gable roofed building that you see right there is still there today, still standing there today, because in 1854 just one year after the little white schoolhouse was built a group of people got together in that little white schoolhouse, and came up with an idea that would end up changing the course of history, in many ways.
