Visit our one room schoolhouse
West Bay Common School Children’s Museum is a League City Historical Society project. This One Room Schoolhouse sits on the site of League City’s original school built in 1894 on land donated by JC League. The school provides a hands-on-history program where over 100,000 school aged children have experienced what a day was like in a one room school in the late 1800’s.
