The Story of the Chapman Museum Buildings


The Pendennis School / Bilinski House




The Pendennis School District was established 1898 and a one-room schoolhouse operated near the village of Pendennis. The former schoolhouse was used for a time as a residence, occupied successively by the Bilinski and Forman families. It was later moved to the Chapman Museum.
