The following excerpt is from the 1929 Berlin, Pennsylvania topographic map quadrangle. It illustrates the Wagaman School at the same general location as the school on the excerpt from the 1876 Northampton Township map that is included above.
Page 5 of the 1941 book "A History of Wills Creek Charge of the Evangelical and Reformed Church" mentions that Rev. Benjamin Knepper established a preaching point at "A. Wagaman's one mile south of Mt. Lebanon near the site of the present Wagaman schoolhouse..." This indicates that a structure known as the Wagaman schoolhouse was still standing when the 1941 book was written. In a section titled "A. Wagaman's Group" page 24 of the same 1941 book also mentions "the present Wagaman schoolhouse". The same section of the 1941 book mentions individuals worshiping at Wagaman's schoolhouse (apparently an earlier building) in the mid-1800s.
