Restored to its original one-room schoolhouse form, the site allows guests to experience a typical school day for students attending all eight grades under the guidance of a single teacher.

The site also offers a joint admission ticket with the New Madrid Historical Museum, providing an opportunity to explore both locations and save on admission fees.
