Farming Valley School


That oversized bell tower makes this one-room schoolhouse a standout.


Hope this one stands for many more years to come.

    This is a favourite of mine. Have stopped here a few times.

      Farming Valley School is one-of-a-kind. Always worth a visit. Thanks BW.

    I wonder why the tower is so large - seems way out of proportion to the building itself. Maybe they thought the sound of the bell would carry further and hustle kids along so they'd be on time.

      Looks more like a look-out tower than a bell tower. Can't imagine what they'd be looking out for though.
