Review:
The Dillon Schoolhouse Museum is an L-shaped frame schoolhouse that was built in 1883 and now stands a museum on LaBonte Street in Dillon. Dating back to the late 1800s, the wooden structure features the original belfry and bell, four-by-four casement windows, and a tin ceiling, with a front platform for student recitations and presentations. Today, the museum features an array of exhibits showcasing artifacts from its bygone school days, including slates and chalk, McGuffy desks, individual learning stations, Heath readers with hand-crocheted bookmarks, a black celestial globe, an 1892 flag, a kerosene slide projector with glass slides, a Centennial flag, and a sand table. Other interesting objects range from assay scales, coffee grinders, blacksmith tools, and cigar molds and tobacco cutters and can be viewed in the adjacent country storeroom.
