My father and mother (b.1912) were teachers in one room schoolhouses in Illinois. And this is BEFORE they went to college, where they met. University of Illinois.
You may have seen these before but I thought these photos were perfect for a Throwback Thursday post.
I attended a 3 room schoolhouse until Grade 7. Three grades in each room. The Principal would hang out the window and ring the hand bell to call us in.
Wow, I did not remember your telling me this.
One room schools! That would take a lot of preparation!
These photos are truly a treasure to have, Ruth.
You are so right, Peter
Oh wow… Do you know what year these are from?
Probably the early -1930’s
HAVE VISITED PRESERVED ONES….!
Photos?
let’s see what I can find—atomicredhead.com has a picture from Knott’s Berry Farm—the ones I remember are in Cooperstown, NY and in Sturbridge Village, MA…among others!
Be a great post!
I GUESS SO. I GAVE THOSE REFERENCES TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU, IN YOUR RESEARCH. MY THING IS MY POETRY GIG. BUT IF YOU DO IT, I’LL GLADLY REBLOG IT AND SPREAD YOUR TALENTED PRESENTATION ALL OVER THE PLACE! 😀
Thanks. Stay tuned
OH BOY, OH BOY!!!!!! 😀
