The Polk County Historical Association is excited to offer a rare Saturday morning program for its June 17th program. In keeping with an educational theme, this program will be about Stearns School when hundreds of local students walked through its halls. The program will be from 10:30am to 12 noon inside the Polk County Historical museum.

Featured speakers will be Kathleen Mcillian, Margaret McFarland Clark plus other former students. They will serve on a panel and allow for interaction with the audience present. 

"We are very pleased at how well the educational series of programs have been received with the public," said Becky Hudson, Vice President and Program Chair for the historical association. "Our panel will give people a good opportunity to learn all about their school life at Stearns School."

Stearns School was constructed in 1917 and funded by Ohio industrialist Frank Stearns. It was used as a school until the early 1990's and today serves as the administrative headquarters for the Polk County School System.

The museum is located in downtown Columbus at 60 Walker Street. The program is Saturday, June 17th beginning at 10:30am. There is no charge to attend the presentation.
