The First School in Wilsonville

This school, the Frog Pond School, was a two story building and they had living quarters up on the top story. This is the school my dad went to. His dad had a farm just a quarter of a mile north of here. This building is facing west and the kids, the boys especially, would go to school 'til they were big enough to work on the farm. And there weren't too many that actually graduated from the eighth grade at that time. When the district's were consolidated into the West Linn district, they moved this building up Stafford [Road] to the intersection of Gage Road. It was [then] a community building and they maintained it until GTE built their substation. Then it was dismantled, torn down. Emery Aden This is #5 on the Wilsonville historic map
