Eyestone School Museum

The Eyestone School Museum is a beautifully restored one-room schoolhouse from the early 1900s, located on the Illinois State University campus. Originally known as the Rose Hill School, this charming museum offers a glimpse into the past with authentic wooden desks, McGuffey Readers, and a coal stove, all reminiscent of a bygone era in education. Dedicated to Lura Eyestone, a beloved teacher and alumna, the museum serves as a tribute to the significant role of one-room schools in shaping Illinois education. Visitors can explore this historical gem and experience the educational environment of the early 20th century.
