The building was operated as a tavern from 1839 until about the time of the Civil War when it was sold. The value of the tavern was lost and it was then used as a home and later a barn.

Although no longer used as a school after 1896, the building remained a focal point for the community, serving as headquarters for William Jennings Bryan s 1896 Presidential campaign, a dance hall, a place of worship, a funeral parlor, a community meeting hall and a private residence. The Hessville Historical Society purchased the sturdy building in 1971 for one dollar and The Little Red Schoolhouse reopened as a museum and community center.
