Temple Open House to feature 1880s School Master

TEMPLE – A visit from a mid-18 century School Master will be the highlight of the Temple Historical Society’s Annual Open House on Saturday, August 19. The program, which will be held in the Red Schoolhouse on the Intervale in Temple will start at noon and will feature Larry Whittington of Dixfield. As the School Master, Whittington will encourage students to practice their reading, writing, and arithmetic, but these students will actually be the members of the public attending the school session, and as such, they will also learn what school life was like for young people in the 1880s.Read More
