Photos from: New "Back to School" exhibit entertains, informs about the history of public education in Oswego




Museum assistant Emily Dutton puts the finishing touches on a label in the Little White School Museum's new "Back to School" special exhibit. Just in time for the start of another school year, the exhibit in the museum's main room features artifacts, documents, and photos recounting the long history of education in the Oswego area, from the few hundred students once educated in scattered one-room rural and town schools to today's Oswego School District enrollment of some 14,000 students attending two high schools, five junior highs, 13 elementary schools, and two support buildings. The museum is located at 72 Polk Street (Jackson Polk) just two blocks from downtown Oswego. Regular hours are Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Monday, 4 to 9 p.m.; and Thursdays and Fridays, 2 to 6:30 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, call 630-554-2099 or visit the museum web page at www.littlewhiteschoolmuseum.org.
