It's clean, it's wide, it's pretty 'ideal'. The monument itself is currently just some stonework, plaques are missing and HOPEFULLY being redone. If you do want to check it out, park at the car...

Little Red School House

The Little Red School House, also known as the Joseph Hess School, is a historic building located in Hammond, Indiana. Built in 1859, it served as a working schoolhouse from 1869 to 1896, educating students from kindergarten to 8th grade during their three-month school year. The schoolhouse was constructed using limestone from the Thornton Quarry, but later switched to locally made bricks from a clay pit nearby. Today, the building serves as a museum owned by the Hessville Historical Society, showcasing original desks and a bell in the tower. The Little Red School House has a rich history, having been used for various purposes over the years. After its time as a schoolhouse, it was repurposed as a community center, a funeral parlor, and even hosted a victory celebration for President William McKinley. In 1971, the building was moved to its current location in Hessville Park, where a modern bathroom and basement were added. Now, it stands as a testament to the educational heritage of Hammond, offering visitors a glimpse into the past.Generated from the website
