Foltz School restored to 1918 glory
BRADY TWP — Foltz School, a one-room schoolhouse off Route 8, is stuck in the 1910s, but that’s the way educators want it to remain.
The school educated students from their youth to their teen years from the 1880s until its closure in 1963. So when alumni wander into the building, which recently has been restored by the Moraine, McConnells Mill Jennings Commission (3MJC), the memories come flooding back to them.
“They went to school here, and in their minds, it probably was erased,” said Sky Pfahl, a member of 3MJC, “and here it is manifesting in real life again, and they can walk in and see the school similar as it was.”
