State College, PA –  The Centre County Historical Society (CCHS) will hold a public open house at the newly restored Boogersburg School , 1021 Fox Hill Road, State College, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 7 .

Stop in any time in the afternoon from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. to learn about the school’s history, join in recess games, try your hand at “mental math” and even ring the school bell! You might even meet alumni of Boogersburg or hear stories from others who attended a one room school as a student. Whether you attended Boogersburg or another one-room school, or are simply interested in early school life in a one room school setting, we hope you will join us!  Visitors may “walk to school” on the trail to the schoolhouse from the adjacent field where recess games will take place, weather permitting.
