The West Allis Historic Commission has a one room log schoolhouse dating
from the time Wisconsin became the 30th state in our union (1848). At the
time, (1998), we did extensive research and created both a first person
script (male and female), for school tours, and a third person docent
script when the log cabin school is open on Tuesday nights and Sunday
afternoons to the general public.
We published it in a manual form but may have it in a PDF also. If your
interested please lets us know.
Devan Gracyalny, President
West Allis Historical Society
and Vice Chair, West Allis Historic Preservation Commission
