Got my CD in the mail yesterday. Pretty cool. I'm impressed with it. I had no idea this part of the world had so many one room school houses. The map is full of them. Eric

In my area Every County had several Districts, & every District had at
least one School.

Everyone walked to school, so there needed to be one within walking distance of everyone.

Another thing I search for on EBay is

1976 History; centennial history; twp. history; etc.

at least around here, almost all townships, had a history written up
for the 1776 - 1976 Centennial. These Histories can give alot of info.
