The regular school day would be from 9am to 4pm with morning and afternoon recesses, both 15 minutes each, and an hour lunch period. A few notable students that went to one-room schools were Abraham Lincoln, Herbert Hoover, and Joyce Carol Oates.
I couldn't snap pictures of the inside due to it being closed but if you've want to know how it looks inside I left the link below. It is the first link.
I also snapped a photo of the United States flag with just 15 stars and 15 stripes. It was the only U.S flag to have more than 13 strips and was authorized by the Flag Act of January 13, 1794. The photo of the schoolhouse is located in Chelmsford, MA and is the first Chelmsford schoolhouse in 1802. Also it was the oldest Town-owned property in Chelmsford.

Kassandra, I made a couple of edits. I liked your additional information on the flag. I didn't know that such a flag ever existed. I also found it interesting that the Chelmsford Schoolhouse was built in 1802 on the site of the very first schoolhouse in Chelmsford.
