Laurel School #3 photo

Description
-
Sepia-toned image of a group of school children standing on the steps of their school. Laurel School opened in the early 1900s, and then merged with the nearby community of Farmington in the mid-1950s. Laurel is located in the southern Tualatin Valley, in the foothills of the Chehalem Mountains. These students would have lived close enough to Laurel that they were able to walk to school, as there was no bus system at that time. Many of the small schools in the area were founded just for that reason, to provide an opportunity to children who had no means of transportation to any other school. The teacher at this time is identified in museum records as Helen Austin.
