Of course. Pocahontas County, West Virginia, due to its mountainous terrain and rural nature, was once home to a vast network of one-room schools. These schools were the educational and social centers of their small, often isolated communities, operating primarily from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century until school consolidation began.
Most of these buildings no longer exist or have been converted into private residences, barns, or community buildings. This list is compiled from historical records, maps, and publications from the Pocahontas County Historical Society.
