Whitehaven Schoolhouse and Museum

Whitehaven Schoolhouse was first constructed in 1886 to meet the demand of the growing community. By 1908, an addition to the school was made, adding an additional room and a porch. However, with the rise of bus transportation of children to schools, Whitehaven Schoolhouse was closed in 1935 and acquired by the Whitehaven Methodist Church in 1937, from which point it was used for social events and Sunday schooling. In 1975 the building was briefly converted into a store and then used for storage until 1991 when it was turned into the Community and Church Hall. Today, the Whitehaven Schoolhouse serves as a museum, archiving and sharing the history of the historic Whitehaven community. The schoolhouse also serves as a community center, hosting several social events, and a meeting place for the Whitehaven Heritage Association Inc.

The Whitehaven Schoolhouse and Museum is open to the public every 2nd and 4th Sundays between 1:00 and 4:00PM April through November. Private appointments can also be arranged by calling ahead of time. To schedule an appointment, please call 443-366-3673
