Experience a day in the life of a 19th century student in this one-room schoolhouse!  The school master or mistress will depict a typical child’s day at school in the 1800s. 

The Marshallville small, one-room schoolhouse was probably erected around 1850 and is typical of the schools built in the first half of the 19th century throughout America, having little architectural establishment and a simple floor plan.  It originally served the children in Marshallville, a small town formed around a glass window factory that operated there from 1814 to the late 1800s.  It’s gable-fronted form reflects the Greek Revival style, and restoration work on the structure was performed by a local carpenter who used 19th century tools and techniques.

Historic Cold Spring Village is a non-profit educational institution established as an Early American open-air living history museum. Its purpose is three-fold: historic preservation, history education, and heritage tourism. This is accomplished by promoting New Jersey history through extensive programs utilizing the architecture, lifestyles, arts, history, and culture found in a rural South Jersey village during the early to mid-19th century.

The Village endeavors to provide visitors from throughout New Jersey and the nation, and around the world with an understanding of their cultural heritage through a personal encounter with the past.
