The subject of one-room schools has been increasing in popularity
in recent years. These school are also known as country schools, rural schools, and, by the federal government, as one-teacher
schools. If you are interested, you should know about the following sources.

The official
CSAA listserv is aimed at one-room school museums, researchers, and people who are interested in the history of one-room
schools. People involved with active one-room schools or the small school movement also are welcome. You can preview and join their official electronic e-mail list at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oneroom/ Once you are a member
you also get access to the many resources and links that are blocked when you just preview. You don't have to officially
join the organization to join the listserv. I currently serve as listmistress.

In 2002 I
took part in putting together a directory of one-room schools in Iowa,
funded by the Iowa Historic Preservation Alliance. http://iowapreservation.org/schools/index.html As they have not corrected updated information as I forwarded
it on, I have mirrored the information here with updates as I get them. The Iowa Historic Preservation Alliance list
is broken into three parts and may be easier to load for those with slower connections. Click on http://www.trundlebedtales.com/page19.html or click on Iowa's One-Rooms at left.If you would like to correct information or add your one-room school museum to the list, the survey form is available here, http://www.trundlebedtales.com/1-Room%20Survey.pdf The %20 is part of the address not a typo.
