Gathering at Wallace School

Title

Gathering at Wallace School

Description

Black and white image of a group of people standing outside a one-room log cabin schoolhouse. Adult men wear flat-brimmed black hats, and the women wear bodices over full skirts. Many of the smaller children wear skirts, including several who appear to be boys. Built in the 1880s, Wallace school served students in the Dixie Mountain area until after World War I, when a new school was built. School at the time of this photo only took place during the summer months; the winter weather was too severe for the children to walk to school.
