Every time Beverly Goss goes home, she goes back to school.
She lives in the former Mount Hope School in Pequea Township with her husband, Ken. This one-room schoolhouse taught children starting in 1879, including Beverly and her father. Over the past 50 years, the Gosses made changes large and small to make the one-room building a home fit for a family of four.
