Description
Students dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians are standing in a group in this 9-3/8" x 7-3/8" black and white photograph. There is a tepee in the middle of the group and cornstalks tied together off to the side. Trees and houses can be seen in the background.
Willard School was located at 1245 S. Folsom Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, from 1915 to 1969. In 1915 the name of West A Street School was changed to Willard to honor Frances E. Willard (1839-1898). At the time, the school was a small frame building, but in 1918, a larger brick building was built. The Willard building survives today as Willard Community Center.
