Penn No. 5
Penn No. 5
The Penn No. 5 (Center School) schoolhouse still stands on its original plot as of 2024. A school has been at this location since at least 1875, though there has likely been more than one building over the years. Being a schoolhouse at the center of the township, Penn No. 5 also served as a community center.
