2008 CSAA Conference Heads to Ohio

The 2008 Country School Association of America Conference will take place on the campus of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio on June 16th and 17th with an optional tour on June 18 to several one-room schools in the Oxford area. A trip to the William Holmes McGuffey Museum will be a highlight of the three-day conference that draws participants from across the United States. 

CSAA boardmembers Suzanne Daniel of Michigan and Nancy Hughes of Indiana have already laid the groundwork and are currently working to finalize details of the logistics and lodging, as well as the ever-popular bus tour of the area one-room schools. They have visited a number of potential stops for the tour and have found a number of ORS that have become fire stations, restaurants, homes and museums. Now to narrow the choices.....This is a conference you will NOT want to miss!

William Homles McGuffey, you will recall, was the author of McGuffey's Eclectic Readers, estimated to have sold over 120 million copies between 1836 and 1960.
