LOCUST GROVE: Garage sale in the schoolhouse

Randy Mims wrote to tell me that the Pocopson Township Historic Committee is holding a garage sale from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 21, at the Locust Grove Schoolhouse to raise funds to restore the c. 1870 one-room schoolhouse.
Randy says that since the township bought the schoolhouse in 2003 with state grant money, "much progress has been made - a new heating and cooling system, ceiling constructed, walls repaired and replastered, and a chalk board installed. The next project is replacing the floor, which will cost approximately $10,000. Once finished, the first phase of the project will be completed and the schoolhouse can be used by area elementary classes to learn about the rich history of our unique area through experiencing a day in the life of a student in the late 1800s."
The garage sale will be held at the schoolhouse at Corinne and Locust Grove Roads (525 Locust Grove Road). On sale will be furniture, housewares, vinyl records, tools, sporting goods, toys, books, and collectibles. 
I will be stopping by for sure!
