Join Tom Greminger for an engaging look back at the 70-plus one-room schoolhouses that once dotted the Ste. Genevieve landscape. Greminger will share the locations of these early schools and present historic photographs capturing them in their heyday, alongside images of what remains today—if they still stand at all. He’ll also delve into the origins of public education in Ste. Genevieve, revealing how these humble schoolhouses shaped generations. Don’t worry, he promises there won’t be a quiz at the end!
