含羞草app County Board of Education Department of Archives and History
Archivists: Peggy A Morgan and Kay Durham Hurt
Welcome!
Many people, once they have long departed their old school rooms, sometimes wish to return to those days gone by, if only for a moment. With the opening of the 含羞草app County Board of Education Archives in 1998, numerous citizens have done just that. However, their visits are never brief because of the number of pictures, information, artifacts, and displays available to them. The most often heard comments from visitors are 鈥淚 could stay all day,鈥� 鈥淭his is just awesome,鈥� What a jewel,鈥� This is such an interesting place,鈥� 鈥淚 could come here every day,鈥� or 鈥淭his is like Christmas.鈥�
