The Higgerson School Historic Site in New Madrid, MO offers visitors a unique glimpse into the educational practices of rural America in the early 19th century. 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.
From playing traditional games like Wolf Over and River to taking trips to the outdoor facility and crossing the fence on the stile, visitors can relive the nostalgic moments of a bygone era. 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.
