History lessons were again taught Saturday afternoon at the Little Red School House, 200 E. Jefferson St.

As part of the open house put on by the General Richard Butler Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, local historian Steve Cicero spoke on the history of the school house and student life in the 19th century.

Donna Croft, the regent of the DAR chapter, said her group has had a long relationship with the historic building. From 1920 to 1942, the school house was the home of the General Richard Butler Chapter.

“The open house is part of our day of service, to educate the public about the Little Red School House’s historical significance,” Croft said.

Ford and Croft said people wishing to contribute toward the upgrade of the Little Red School House should contact Croft at donnaleecroft@gmail.com.
