Title	Jean Thomas at the fence of the McGuffey Log School.
Creator	Thomas, Jean, 1881-1982 (collector)
Description	Jean Thomas, wearing a calico dress and holding a bonnet and two books, stands at the fence of the McGuffey Log School (so marked by a wooden handwritten sign). Thomas acquired possession of this schoolhouse (similar to the one she had attended as a child) in Big Sandy country, and had it moved to the land adjacent to her "Wee House in the Wood" where it was dedicated on May 16, 1937 as a shrine to McGuffey. She left the door open for visitors, and created Friday afternoon performances (sometimes aired on a local radio station) with 1890s period costumes, furnishings, and lessons from McGuffey Readers. Title supplied by cataloger.
