The Day of Art at the Historic Lando Schoolhouse was an amazing day

Hundreds of folks came out to enjoy a hot dog lunch provided by Heath Memorial Methodist Church and hear the beautiful music provided by Keith Mosley. The Historic Lando Schoolhouse was once again visited by former students, Lando residents and new folks to Chester county. The potential future use of the Historic Lando Schoolhouse was obvious to all who visited.

The highlight of the day was the Class Reunion Photo. Former students reunited friendships that were long remembered. Stories about their school days were shared. Here are I few: last year students attended 1951, went to either Edgemoor or Oakley Hall. Students went home for lunch and the milk truck came every morning. Milk was served in small glass bottles.

Bubba Kee, Peggy Blanks Curtis, Wallace Blanks, Dale Hyatt and Bruce Catoe attended the class reunion.( in photo left to right)

The Lewisville High and Middle Schools provide artwork and 12 local artists painted on the window shutters. The artwork was spectacular!

Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped make his day possible. The Lando HC Maintenance team was assisted by Roxann Yarbrough and Eddie James, Caleb Perry, Brandon Kiefer, Brittany Pierce, Nathan Kiefer, Majorie Canty and Teresa.

The Lando Manetta Mills History Center could not do these events without the support from the community.

The Historic Lando Schoolhouse was built in 1905 and operated for 50 years (1955). For many years after the schoolhouse was used for storage. Then from 1995 until 2025 the schoolhouse was abandoned and only visited by vandals and photographers. Now new life is coming back to the Historic Lando Schoolhouse.
