Serendipity is all we can say here. In exploring the web for schoolhouses recently, a reader came across a Wordpress blog entitled, "Walkerhomeschoolblog," and discovered that the writer has researched and posted articles on countless country schools from across the U.S. He includes working one-room school museums, multi-room schools, repurposed buildings, and abandoned country school relics. He includes photos and physical or mailing addresses for the schools he features and adds that, "I gather my information from many sources."  

The writer of "Walkerhomeschoolblog" does not identify himself but says, "I am a minister and homeschooling father who is interested in the promotion of homeschooling and also in listening to classical music." It appears his blog goes way beyond his description and is of great value to those seeking information on countless unknown schoolhouses in the 50 states. Below is an example of his many entries.

Coincidently, attendees at the 2015 CSAA conference in Beatrice, NE visited the Cracker Box Schoolhouse  (below) as part of the Wednesday coach tour of local country schools.
