U.S. School Clothes: Lebanon School (Nebraska)


Figure 1.--Here we have a school photo taken in Lebanon in 1907 or 1908. It is interesting because of the great hats the children are wearing. Another interesting observation is that only two boys are wearing overalls, and one has covered them with a jacket. By the 1910s we see many American children wearing overalls to school. It seems that this was about the time that overalls began to be worn to school in rural America.

We are not sure about the name of the school here. We know the school was located in Lebanon, a small village in southeastern Red Willow County, Nebraska. We suspect that the school was called the Lebanon School. Here we have a school photo taken in Lebanon in 1907 or 1908. It is interesting because of the great hats the children are wearing.
