History museum exhibit explores 100 years of education in Bartlesville
The Bartlesville Area History Museum is hosting an exhibit on “A Century of Education, which will take visitors on an educational journey exploring the development and expansion of Bartlesville-area school districts.
The display runs through Sept. 29.
From teachers managing one-room schoolhouses to expanding educational opportunities for citizens in Washington County, of all backgrounds, Oklahoma’s education system became more inclusive and accessible over the course of the century. The exhibit explores the educational development of Washington County while discovering the foundations of the Bartlesville Bruins.
The exhibit also will feature various artifacts from local schools over the years. In addition, youngsters or the “young at heart” may enjoy the history of education coloring station and wander through the turn-of-the-century Nelson Carr One-Room School.
The museum is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. (closed on weekends and holidays) at 401 S. Johnstone Avenue, 5th Floor. Museum admission is free, but donations are always welcome. No reservation is necessary. If you have questions, you may reach Bartlesville Area History Museum staff at (918) 338-4290 or history@cityofbartlesville.org.
