The Schoolhouse turns 100 years old this year, and we’re hosting a Centennial Celebration to celebrate!

This is a FREE event -- all you need to bring is a dish to share and a small item to place in our time capsule.

Festivities kick off around 2pm. Walk through the newly renovated building at your leisure, then make your way back to the auditorium for a presentation on the History of the Konnarock Training School by Ed Davis, plus a few stories from KTS alum Patsy Chambers and her daughter, Sandy! We’ll celebrate this milestone with a time capsule, and then gather back in the dining room for our Friendsgiving potluck meal!
