Education ... way back when

Yesteryear Village, West Palm Beach, FL

Yesteryear Village is a history park nestled on 10 acres, showcasing buildings and artifacts from the 1895’s to the 1945’s.
There’s a large collection of early, original and replicated buildings including an old school, a farm, a blacksmith shop, a general store, and several houses.
This photo of the school room makes me feel old ……… because I really do remember sitting at similar desks back in my early school days!

I do remember, although I lived in a very different country, the crowded classrooms with the worn out desks.
a great idea for the subject education

I remember these desks. Mine had an inkwell, and it was made from wrought iron instead of steel like these. At least we didn't have a butter churn in the classroom... LOL. V

I actually sat in desks not too different than these in grade school. Very nice work here and love the treatment! V

We could all use a little of the old in our too advanced life.

you just gave me a flashback to an old photo of mine LOL http://www.pbase.com/laryl/image/125304826 I LOVE the old school houses. I love the green color of this one and those desks are so cool (and very unmatching what's up with that?) very cool

Well maybe not so far back. It could easily have been my second or third grade classroom. v

Love the color inside and the wainscoting. The old desks if large enough would make a nice laptop table...nice interior shot.

I love seeing things like this! Actually, this reminds me of a school I went to! V

A terrific image of this old schoolroom ? My bet is that the children who went here received a better education than the majority of kids in our moderns schools. V
