Bethel School Open House

Bethel School

Stop by to see and learn about one of the only standing one-room schoolhouses in Wayne County on Sunday, August 24, 2025 at 1:00 p.m.

At 2:00pm the program will be presented by Eliece Rybak called Bridges across the Upper Delaware. This outstanding program was researched and produced by Elise Rybak, a Damascus Township resident, whose father, Andy Oliver, is highlighted in the bridge construction, and who received his entire school education at Bethel School. Andy applied his learning to become a bridge building architect. You might even find Andy's initials carved on one of the desks!
Light refreshments will be available for this FREE event, and donations are always welcome. 

Bethel School Rd, Honesdale, PA 18431, United States
