The Hornbine One-Room Schoolhouse Museum Activities

We had a very enjoyable Tea Party in May and had a booth at the Carpenter Museum’s Strawberry Festival on June 1st. We’ve enjoyed having several classrooms visit the school from towns in the area this year. This is our 57th year of doing so. We have had many teachers over the years. This year, Richard Wheeler has joined the teaching staff.

We invite you to attend our OPEN HOUSES beginning Sunday, June 8th and every 2nd and 4th Sunday from 2 - 4 pm up to and including October 26th. We have some fun activities for young visitors which include a memory game and a scavenger hunt. Last year, we added some new displays including a “history of educational materials display” and a collage of Hornbine Facts and Pictures. This season, we have new “Hornbine Art” on display. Our new Hornbine Magnets will be available for sale.

Do you have pictures of any old Rehoboth Schools that you would like to share with us? Bring them with you on June 22nd. We will have a scanner to make copies. Gilbert Stubbs will demonstrate how to cut the tips of feather quill pens at our July 20th OPEN HOUSE. We are planning a special Fall Event during the last Open House on October 26th.

Would you like to see more pictures of children enjoying their day at the school? Look for them on our Facebook Page, “Hornbine School Museum”. We have links to Hornbine School YOU TUBE VIDEOS and our website on our Facebook Page also.

The Hornbine one-room schoolhouse was built in the 1840s and is located at 146 Hornbine Road in Rehoboth, MA.
