Historic Foltz School to educate once again
When Foltz School let out for the last time nearly 60 years ago, it seemed the end of the one-room school era in Brady Township.
Little did anyone know, class would be back in session for a new generation visiting Jennings Environmental Education Center.
The Foltz School building, sitting almost concealed by trees off Route 8 near the Old Stone House, recently received a renovation from the Moraine, McConnells Mill and Jennings Commission.
With construction nearly ended, Nancy Nalepa, project co-chair, said the building will once again be used to educate people, just in a different way.
“We wanted to get it renovated and use it for classrooms for Jennings,” she said. “We’re hoping sometime this fall to get it open.”
