Lanesfield School
The Lanesfield School is a historic limestone one-room school in Edgerton, Kansas that operated as a school from 1869 to 1963. The school is an example of the one-room schoolhouses that served much of rural America during the nineteenth century, and it is the only remaining structure from the former town of Lanesfield, which served as a mail stop along the Pony Express and Santa Fe Trail. The school was converted into a museum in 1967.[1][2][3] The school is located on the Lanesfield Historic Site that includes the schoolhouse, four outbuildings, and a modern visitors center.[3]
