White Oak Hall

White Oak Hall, also known as White Oak School, is a historic one-room schoolhouse located near Rushville. The two-story school was built in 1874. The first floor of the building held the school room, while the second floor was used as a meeting hall by the local chapter of The Grange. The Grange Hall also housed the White Oak Literary Society, church services, Sunday school classes, and social functions. The school operated until 1960, while the second floor was used for events through the 1990s. The school is one of the only rural one-room schoolhouses remaining in Schuyler County.

The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2003.
