OTOE COUNTY RURAL SCHOOLS REUNION
On April 10th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, the Otoe County Genealogical
Society will host its 1st Annual Otoe County Rural Schools Reunion
at Harmony School, 6265 "Q" Road, which is located 8 miles south
of Nebraska City on Hwy #75, and 1/2 mile west on "Q" Road.
Harmony School is a rural schoolhouse that was built in 1879, and was
closed in 1997. This reunion will include a coffee social and tour
of the 130-year old schoolhouse. In addition, it will also give visitors
a chance to assist our society in identifying numerous rural school
photographs from several different districts throughout the county.
The society has come into possession of these prized photographs
through the Otoe County Courthouse Clean-Up Project. The photos
were donated by the Otoe County Clerk's office, and other donations.
PLEASE, come join us at Harmony School and help us pay tribute to
these buildings that contributed so much to the education of our
youth for over 100 years!
