Colorado's Historic Schools (Paperback)

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.
