“The sign downstairs says 1937. Those were the days before tractors were around. My father used his horse and plow to help dig this basement.”
There is so much history in this building! Listen as a former student and community member reminisces about his father’s hand in this building’s beginning stages. His father was part of the team that helped to dig the school basement—by horse and plow in the ’30s, before tractors were around! And get ready to go from smiling to full belly laughing as he takes us a walk down memory lane, sharing his fondest memories of being the teacher’s helper and a hilarious recollection of an ornery boy named Dickie!
This building indeed served a lot of children, and it makes us incredibly excited to hear those same children it served, now grown, saying, “This is one of the greatest things to happen in Piketon in a very long time!”
