This one-room country school museum takes visitors to another time when the education of rural America was in its infancy and those who were fortunate enough to attend learned the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. The school was in use during the age of the one room schools in the rural Midwest when just getting to and from school was a challenge.

The Friendship Shoe Fence consists of dozens of pairs wearable shoes. Shoes are tied together & hung over the woven wire fence or just hung on the fence. Some are placed on the ground in baskets or boxes if it is too hard to hang them. A person may take shoes and also leave shoes.

Jerome Pohlen featured the Shoe Fence on a page in his book “ODDBALL ILLINOIS”.

Over the years Salem’s “signature” program has been their horses. Each of the students on the Ranch have the opportunity to work with and care for the horses. Currently we have approximately 18 lesson horses living here on campus.

Winston Churchill once said “The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.” We have found that to be true here on our campus.

Built in 1951 by Clarence Gall, this gymnasium is up for Historic Preservation in Kankakee County Illinois due to its rare engineering and architectural design. Since its construction, the gym has undergone very little change. The barrel-vaulted roof, with ribs of glue-laminated wood is in great condition, as is the original wooden floating floor.

For 37 years it was home to the Reddick High School Bulldogs sports teams in the R.U.C.E. (Reddick, Union Hill, Campus and Essex) Community School District and later for the Reddick Grade School as part of the Herscher School District.
