Pictures of old School

Things are looking up for the Kemah Historical Society's new museum.  The original schoolhouse structure was moved to the corner of 6th and Harris Streets before being moved to its present location.  The structure had been occupied by Boat Shoes Unlimited and was located next to T Bone Tom's Restaurant on 146.  It is now a welcome center and museum located at Bradford and 6th.

Below is a history of the move and restoration.

March 16, 2005 - after the first move and awaiting the 2nd move.
