The place demonstrates a way of life associated with education.

History

When the Hyden School expanded and another teacher was appointed, accomodation for the headmaster and his family was provided in the mid 1950s. However the other teaching staff were still required to find board and lodging with towns people or farmers, until 1968 when the single teacher's quarters were constructed. It ended the era of teacher's boarding in Hyden.
