Butler #2, Walnut Grove

On 4/12/09 we took a drive over to Davenport and have lunch at Cracker Barrel.  Afterwards we decided to drive around in that area to see what we could see for fun - up a bit north of town, then east to the Mississippi River, and then back down to Cracker Barrel for late dessert before heading home.  Well, we came across this small community which is now a historical center.  The school is on its original location and is now a museum.  It operated from 1870 to 1967.  Walnut Grove is just over two miles east of US61 on Country Road F33.  The photo shown was taken in 1898.

The following photos were taken on 10/14/16, when we had an inside tour.  Notice the new roof, and the school was also repainted.
