KENT: SCHOOL DAYS
This exhibition features historical photos and artifacts from school life during the 1880-1940 period in Kent. Schools include the Union/Central School, Roosevelt (Davey), DePeyster and South Schools as well as St. Patrick's and the University School. A model school room has also been created on the Society's 2nd fl. so children can experience a classroom as it was in earlier periods of our history. Children may learn and play as students did in the past, including using slate boards, old games and books that were used in many classrooms throughout the city. Several desks from the DePeyster School are also in the room in front of a large blackboard with lots of chalk! There's a desk just waiting for your child so bring your family soon!
