Come discover the Hoosier Grove Museum and connect with history.
The museum was built as a one-room schoolhouse in 1904 and served the residents of Hoosier Grove (now Streamwood) until 1954.
At the museum, you can explore the building, touch artifacts and learn about life in a one-room schoolhouse.
Fun Facts:
- The Hoosier Grove Schoolhouse was built in 1904 on Schuenman’s Farm. A typical school day was from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
- The schoolhouse was not only a school, but was also used for elections, picnics, celebrations, and public meetings.
- The schoolhouse was struck by lightning in 1907.
- The schoolhouse was part of school district 43 1/2. The “1/2” being that half of the school was in Hanover Township, and the other half in Schaumburg Township.
- When the schoolhouse closed in 1954, there still wasn’t any running water.
