Planning a Visit to the Concord School
To visit the Concord School, please follow the instructions below:
1. Contact Ms. Jan Bunch, Concord School Information and Tour Coordinator, to arrange a time at 724-708-9800 or by email concordschool1848@gmail.com. Please tell Ms. Jan Bunch what most interests you about the school.
2. Since the schoolhouse is located on a farm and unheated, please dress for the weather and wear soft sole shoes to not damage the wood floors.
3. Restrooms are very rustic. Please use facilities before arriving at the schoolhouse, if at all possible.
4. Due to security reasons, no photographs are permitted inside the school proper. Photographs are welcomed anywhere outside the building.
5. Small children typically have shorter attention spans, please keep a close eye on children that may not remain as interested in the topic as the adults.
6. Please refrain from siting in or on small desks that were used for little children. The age of these desks make them less strong as the larger adult-sized desks.
7. The Concord School is designed to appear "as the students left" the books and items are in open and displayed as used. Please do not use these items or handle them carelessly. Typically, your guide welcomes others to see all items in the school, but please ask permission before handling them.
8. The schoolhouse is private and we ask our guests to respect the building since it has been kept as original as possible.
9. While the building is not handicapped accessible, special arrangements can be made to help visitors experience the schoolroom.
10. Parking will be in a gated, level, mowed lawn area. Buses (that can not enter through the gate) can be accommodated by nearby road parking across from the schoolhouse on Loyalhanna Dam Road.
11. As with many organizations, tax deductible donations are greatly appreciated to help sustain the school for others to enjoy.
