The Little Schoolhouse- Bibb City Historic Elementary School

Welcome to The Little Schoolhouse

A place to stay, gather, celebrate, create—and make a little history of your own.

Welcome to **The Little Schoolhouse**, a one-of-a-kind historic stay nestled in the heart of Bibb City, just outside downtown Columbus, Georgia.

Built in **1915**, this former schoolhouse was originally created for the children of employees of the nearby Bibb Mill. For generations, these halls were filled with students learning, growing, and becoming part of the story of a community built around one of Columbus's historic textile mills.

More than a century later, this special building has been given an entirely new chapter.

Thoughtfully restored and completely reimagined, The Little Schoolhouse celebrates its history while offering all the comforts and amenities today's guests expect. Every detail was intentionally chosen to honor the building's past—from the vintage-inspired décor and antique touches to the chalkboard and black-and-white photographs displayed throughout the halls, paying tribute to the generations of students who once attended school here.

But while the story of the past is everywhere you look, there is nothing outdated about your stay.

History Meets Modern Comfort

Behind the historic walls, you'll find a beautifully renovated **3-bedroom, 2-bath home** designed for comfort, connection, and unforgettable experiences.

Gather together in the living room and turn an ordinary evening into movie night on an incredible **157-inch projector screen**. Settle into the Principal's Bedroom or the Queen Bedroom, both complete with TVs for relaxing after a day exploring Columbus. Throughout the home, modern updates blend seamlessly with the nostalgic personality of the original schoolhouse.

Walk the halls and take your time.

Read the photographs.

Notice the details.

Imagine the generations of children who may have walked through these same spaces more than 100 years ago.

The Little Schoolhouse was designed to be more than a place where you simply arrive, sleep, and leave. It is a property with a story—and we hope every guest who visits becomes part of its next chapter.
