POLAND At first glance, the Little Red Schoolhouse in Poland doesn’t look its age.
Built in 1858, it still has a purpose of educating people, but now through the Poland Historical Society.
To ensure precious bits of history are preserved, the organization has been updating the school house, adding a new furnace and water heater in the past year.
Paid for by private donations and the society’s general fund, the new heater cost about $5,000 and was installed this past fall, said Laurie Fox, president of the Poland Historical Society.
The furnace was essential, because as Fox explained, it also runs the air conditioner.
