Description:
The 1888 Schoolhouse was built for use on weekends to teach the Bohemian language and culture to the to the children of Bohemians who settled in Caledonia, mainly between Five Mile and Seven Mile Roads. As the immigrants and their children became more comfortable and emphasis on ethnicity declined, the use of the schoolhouse declined as well. The property was deeded to the Racine Historical Society, and the Junior League of Racine undertook its restoration. In 1975, the schoolhouse opened its doors for living history programs, which recreate a turn-of-the-century classroom experience. Volunteers dressed schoolmarm style conduct reading, arithmetic and writing lessons and supervise games. Classroom sessions are arranged through the schools, with fall and spring sessions.
