Country School Project


*Remembering Country Schools*

Country School – ah, the memories! Ask people about their memories of country school and you will hear lots of interesting stories. And that’s what we are counting on happening when the Sibley County Historical Society launches its new project “Remembering Country Schools.” Plans are already in the making for a series of visits with groups of interested individuals that are willing to share memories and pictures of those “good old days."

Here’s your chance to help capture these memories for the younger generation who did not have that “opportunity.”

Please share with us by phone or email:

Pictures of old school buildings

Pictures of students

Lists of students and teachers

Old school records and other memorabilia

Pictures of present day school buildings

Interviews with country school students and teachers

We would love to hear from you!
