On April 8th, 2010, we visited South Onondaga.  I love listening to the stories Mom tells.  I didn’t realize until this time, that Grammie Perry went to school, at some point, in what I always knew was the Grange.  The Grange was on the opposite side of the road down the hill from Grammie’s home.  Mom is working on finding out the details of the schoolhouse / grange, but for now, Aunt A. asked for the then vs. now photos.

And the schoolhouse/grange as it looks today, walking clockwise around the building:
