TURKEY CREEK SCHOOL

1910 One Room Schoolhouse Experience

Enter the grounds of the Heritage Center’s Humphrey Heritage Village and step back in time to the early frontier days. Students will be greeted by the Village Schoolteacher who will take them through the daily studies of reading and writing as it would have been taught in the Cherokee Outlet in 1910.

The curriculum taught meets Oklahoma State Standards for third and fourth grade students.

Each student will have a slate, chalk, ink and nib pen to work with during their visit to Turkey Creek School. A class size of 24 students is ideal for this historical school day experience.

Students are encouraged to wear period clothing and bring their lunch pails filled with a typical 1910 Oklahoma lunch.

The typical school day begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 1:00 p.m.
