Summary
In the heart of the Sandhills, a historic one-room schoolhouse is being lovingly restored by a dedicated local crew, turning a forgotten relic into a community hub for history and connection. Once shuttered in the 1960s, the building changed hands before landing with Howard Gaffney — a former student — who teamed up with Dave Lamb to relocate it near a visitor center. Now, the Adams family — Mike, Steve, Kathy, and Barb — lead the volunteer-driven revival, adding cedar shingles, fixing the chimney, and planning new windows and siding. With help from neighbors like Mike Evans and Rick Maas, they’re not just preserving wood and brick — they’re reviving a shared past. And with their recent sod house project, they’re proving this area is becoming a living museum of rural heritage. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
