Wetipquin One-Room School

The Wetipquin One-Room School, built around 1868, was an essential educational institution in the Tyaskin District. It is listed as School No. 6 on the 1877 atlas of the district, located at the intersection of Peter's Creek (Royal Oak) Road and Sandy Hill Road. The school had a pump house outside, which also served as a storage space for wood.

The school accommodated approximately thirty to forty children, ranging in age from 6 to 11 years. Some of the early teachers who taught there include Ora Taylor, Myra Bennett, Maude Horsey, Nina Adkins, and Maude Graham.

When the Wetipquin One Room School eventually closed, its students were transferred to Nanticoke Elementary School. The history and significance of this school are documented in sources like "Wicomico County One Room Schools 1975" and an article from The Courier dated January 21, 1905.
