On the same day I explored the abandoned school I posted last time, I also found a few smaller places as well. Originally, my plan was to visit the ruins of Pike Township School near West Carlisle but found that they had been cleared away. Moving on, I stumbled across two abandoned buildings side by side and initially thought that both were houses. On the right was a two-story blue house with a couple of interesting surprises inside. I found a prescription dated 2000 in a bedroom, giving us a clue as to when it was last inhabited. Next door was a slightly smaller building that turned out to be entirely one room and was filled with stored items including furniture, window frames, a bucket of 90s pop cans and toys. Upon exploring it, I now believe it was once a schoolhouse or one-room church.

The next planned stop was the Ream Cemetery Schoolhouse. There is some debate as to whether it was a schoolhouse or a church. My reasoning for believing the schoolhouse argument is that it lacked the raised floor in the rear seen in so many one-room churches. The biggest giveaway is that you can still see an outline where there used to be a chalkboard. A small family cemetery directly next door is the reason many believe it to have been a church. There are several members of the Ream family buried there, their dates of death ranging from 1808 to 1885. A monument in the center bears their names while mostly illegible headstones surround it.

Finally, I found a small one-room church alongside an active house. Inside was a broken piano and some graffiti. I didn't stay long because the neighbors' dogs noticed me and started barking loudly.

It's funny how every single congregation that abandons their church building always leaves the organ or piano behind! I've seen it personally as well as in just about all the abandoned church photos on this site.
The photos of pickled food were priceless! They must have left right after dinner when food was not on their minds! ;)
