Few today realize that a hundred years ago there were some 140 one-and two-room schools in McHenry County. Built in the 19th and early 20th century to educate the children of farm families, these structures served their purpose for almost a century. Rural schools also served as polling places, community centers, and meeting houses for their residents. A surprising number of these schools remain standing today. Now remodeled into comfortable homes or 21st century stores or offices, these buildings are a direct and visible link to an earlier and simpler time in our county's history. Designed as both a guide and brief history of each school, this book features interviews with former teachers and students, numerous maps, and approximately 300 historic photographs. This publication celebrates the buildings, students, teachers, directors, and communities that made the rural school system work. It is a plea to both respectably observe and preserve these historic structures.
