Little Red School House Program Video
The Marathon County Historical Society and the Marathon County Park Department present the Little Red School House program. This program runs for seven weeks each spring and fall, and is open to all fourth grade students in Marathon County. Spending a day at our school is like taking a step back in time. Let your students find out first hand what school was like at the turn of the century. Classes are held in an actual one-room school house now located in Marathon Park, Wausau. Our experienced teachers will follow lesson plans, play games and discuss topics similar to a typical school day in 1904. All students are encouraged to dress in costumes and bring their "lunch pails". Join us for a day of learning and fun. Contact us at (715) 842-5750 for details about the program.
LRS Videos
Available now on our YouTube channel are eight videos with one of our Schoolhouse teachers welcoming students and teaching lessons. These were recorded in early May 2020 to allow teachers, parents, and students to enjoy a virtual "Day in a One-Room School." They are available for anyone who might want to learn ... or reminisce!
