Lake Ida Schoolhouse sits at the entrance to Freedom Farm. The schoolhouse was in use from 1860 through 1972, educating children for 112 years!

After almost 40 years of minimal use, it needs attention! 

The new 'Lake Ida Schoolhouse at Freedom Farm' will offer a peaceful and beautiful meeting and retreat center for participants of Freedom Farm, their families and visiting groups.
