The latest is the 1845 Sheffield Post Office and the Benetka Blacksmith Shop.
The 1838 Spafford one-room schoolhouse has been restored and has joined the depot, caboose, church, church barn, general store, post office, and pharmacy in the depot village in downtown Jefferson at 147 East Jefferson Street. It is another educational, historic building saved and restored with donations and volunteer labor.
All of these restored 19th century buildings provide a place for young people to learn about their ancestry and experience how life was lived a century ago.
Actual 1890 classes are taught in the old schoolhouse in April, May, and September, in July at "Early America LIVE", and upon request for group tours. Teachers can schedule classes by calling Virgie Butcher, 440-576-8277.
