Forgotten PA

Came across the old Concord schoolhouse in Rostraver over the weekend. Built in 1830, it was a subscription school. Since there was no ed. funding, families paid a monthly subscription to send their kids there, in many cases 25 cents per student. The Free Public School law of 1834 changed that. This was the last subscription school built in the township.
