History
The Mooresburg One Room School was constructed in 1875 by Liberty Township near the small village of Mooresburg. In 1891, the Mooresburg School was "rebuilt" by Liberty Township, as indicated on a datestone. It is not known how the school was rebuilt. Mooresburg One Room School remained opened and continued to educate local children in grades one through eight until 1964 when it was acquired by the Montour County Historical Society. It is now a museum.
