1. Caeser Creek Schoolhouse Marker
This schoolhouse has been restored from a building that came from near Harvysburg on Johan's Run. Property have been close to Hight Tate's Mill, located on Johan's Run.
Schools were established very early in the 1800's as soon as a small community developed. These were subscription schools financed by local people. Some early teachers were paid sixty cents a day. Early pioneer schools were small with little furniture and light comfort.
Some believe this small log cabin was the early settlers cabin of Levi Lukers used by his family while he built his 2 1/2 story home located across the Caesar Creek here. This small cabin came from Levi Luken's land in the valley below the Pioneer Village sign.
It was nice for settlers to build a small shelter cabin close to water in which to live while building a larger home. There would be a well by the home so it could be pumped right from the stream.
