Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Schoolhouse Christmas Ornaments

If you attended the 8th Annual CSAA Conference in Ohio in 2008, you were treated to a presentation by historic preservationist, Liedulf Mydland, of Oslo, Norway, who pointed out how unique Americans are in portraying their schoolhouses...in many forms! He seemed impressed as he illustrated how we've turned our love of schoolhouses into some very unique collectibles, including Christmas ornaments!

The country school is depicted on the Iowa state quarter, note cards, tote bags, calendars, postage stamps, and various forms of artwork. He made a good point. We've also seen coasters, pins, tee-shirts, earrings, coffee mugs, and recently... schoolhouse mousepads! Mydland's point? He was encouraged by the reverence we pay to country schools as icons in our nation's development as he motivates Norwegians to save their schoolhouses as well.

Since we're closing 2008 with fond memories of meeting with and connecting to our schoolhouse enthusiasts everywhere this year, I thought I'd share my latest schoolhouse Christmas ornaments and hope our readers might be willing to submit photos and share their interesting finds. 

So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We have a busy year ahead with our preservation efforts, living history programs, and conference activities in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Check out our website for all conference information. Time flies! Thanks for another year of support....
