log schoolhouse Restoration

The log structure that stood at 493 S. Main Street from 1837 to 2011 was Bourbonnais Grove's first school and a meeting place for Methodist  circuit riders. 

After 1848 it was home to several notable Bourbonnais residents. The hand-hewn logs from the demolished structure were preserved and are in storage awaiting funds. 

BGHS is working with the Village of Bourbonnais and Olivet Nazarene University to restore the schoolhouse.
