Sept., 2019: Patterson School, ca. 1918
Vaughan Township School Section #19, Patterson School, was created in the early 1870s when the abundance of children within Patterson Village presented the need for a local school. Peter Patterson asked Vaughan Township to create a school to serve the unincorporated village, and that was granted upon the agreement of local ratepayers and landowners. While the school building was being constructed, classes began in a house within Patterson Village. The school officially opened in 1872 and was in operation until 1964. Pictured we have the class of 1918 standing outside the new bricked building.
