The 1936 children's story book ''Henner's Lydia'' written and illustrated by Marguerite de Angeli (who later won the Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature for another book) is a story about a young Amish girl named Lydia Stoltzfus and her "Pop" Henner, or Henry. Many of illustrations in the book were sketched by the author at the site of the little red schoolhouse that still stands at the intersection of PA route 23 and Red Schoolhouse Road west of Morgantown, Pennsylvania.
