Walnut Grove School Taken in part from The History of the School Districts of School District Number 57 was formed November 5, 1885. This district lies just west of District #1 Oberlin. The first school house was a one room frame school building built in 1885 with one room being added on since. The school has advanced in the amount of studies taught, and in the mode of teaching, but not in the amount of pupils attending. As no school was held in the district the past year (1939), but school will be held the coming year, with an enrollment of 3 pupils. Mostly beginners. There has been three generations of one of the patrons of the district attending this school. |
