CSAA Newsletter is a Thing of the Past...
FIND COUNTRY SCHOOL NEWS ON FACEBOOK
Over the years, information on country schools that once appeared in our CSAA Newsletter has migrated totally to FACEBOOK. We've found that readers seeking schoolhouse information are better served by sharing NEWS articles on Facebook from publications around the country. These posts are timely and informative proving that the interest in preservation and restoration is alive and well across the country. We are able to re-post country school news from all 50 states and beyond. Readership is far greater on Facebook and CSAA reaches a wider audience than our former newsletter. So, we say goodbye to the CSAA Newsletter and thank all our contributors.
Many of the articles from our former Newsletter will be found on MEMBERS ONLY when they are informational and not time sensitive.
CSAA will also begin to update resources and books, for and about country schools, that were listed on our Newsletter. That list will appear soon as a new tab titled COUNTRY SCHOOL RESOURCES. Keep watch. Announcement will appear on this page.

An Invaluable Resource for your Schoolhouse...available on AMAZON!
"More Than 200,000 Country Schools: A Guide for Research, Preservation, and Education" Lucy Townsend, Editor Do you know of a one-room school museum in your area? Are you involved in the preservation of a country school? Have you attended a one-room school, taught in one, or re-enacted in one? Have you written a book with a country school setting, worked on the restoration of a one-room school, or ever visited one? Are you familiar with one-room school history? Do you need advice on programming or promotion of your schoolhouse museum? Do you enjoy photographing schoolhouses? Would you simply like to know more about research, preservation, and education concerning country schools? Do you know there is a national organization dedicated to the preservation of our remaining country schools? If you said yes to any of these questions, this is the book for you! For over 200 years, country schools were the nation’s most reliable educational institutions, and over 200,000 once dotted the American landscape. This book contains interviews with thirteen people who completed projects dedicated to the preservation of country school history. They set out to make a lasting contribution to their communities, and they completed worthwhile projects with neither major grant support nor national recognition. |
