The Gregory County Historical Society is working on putting together a book on the history of the rural & country schools that existed in Gregory County. We are asking for your help. Could you please respond to any or all of the questions below? These questions are just a guide you can use in writing some information up for us. If you have more to add, please do so.

Who were some of the teachers you had and what do you remember most about them?

How far did you have to travel to school and what was the means of transportation that you got there?

Who were some of the other students that attended?
