Window display features school photos

— by Betty Jane Wilson, society president

"School Days, School Days . . ." etc. The seasonal window scene at the Valley Falls Historical Society Museum is designed to pique the memories or whet the waves of nostalgia of these "Golden Rule Days" for former scholars or teachers of country schools.

A host of enlarged photos of one-room schools of local areas pin-pointed in their respective areas on a Jefferson County map fill the window. Slates, ink well, lunch pail, and the inevitable school hand bell complete the memorabilia display with an ABC banner for emphasis.

The Veterans' window, featuring a colorful eagle image accompanied by military service flags against an American flag background, serves as a constant reminder to remember and support our servicemen and women world-wide.

The society's museum will be open at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 27. Admission is free.
