People love getting nostalgic and what better way than the history
of school days of yesteryear? Over six hundred school buildings are
scattered across the Centennial State-and some were still operating
in rural communities through the 1950s. A community's construction
of a school building reflected the importance of universal
education, and also a desire to establish permanence in the
community itself in the ever-expanding Western frontier. These
schools were often the social centers of the community. Civic town
meetings were held in them, as well as other political events.
Today, these schools are the touchstones to Colorado's pioneering
past. Colorado's Historic Schools is part-regional history, and
part-travel guide featuring over 150 of the most significant
schools across the state, all recognized as historic landmarks.
Along with interesting school stories and building descriptions,
there are historic photos, and information on how to visit the
schools that are open to the public. Readers will also enjoy
sidebars featuring stories of legendary teachers, tragedies, and
even murder over the 150-year history of Colorado's schools.
