Henninger’s School House was originally in Upper Milford Township, but this small slice was annexed by the borough of Emmaus in 1927.

The Citizens Fire Company needed a place to serve the community.

The original building was bought on August 19, 1927 from the Emaus School District at a cost of $1,500. The Emaus School District acquired the two-room building from Upper Milford Township by annexation. Members of the Company voluntarily remodeled the school house.

Harry Clay Trexler, renowned Allentown industrialist and philathropist received his early education at the former school house.

When you look at the social hall, you can see the structure of an early 1900s Pennsylvania school house as part of the building.
