Rehoboth Historical Commission seeking class photos of Rehoboth School Children

The Rehoboth Historical Commission is seeking donations of class photos (of Rehoboth School Children) taken prior to the year 2000. Many of the older generations went to one-room schoolhouses that are no longer in use, and the photos from these classes may not have been recorded or preserved. Therefore, the Rehoboth Historical Commission is seeking to preserve these pieces of our town’s history. This is a great opportunity for the community to see the Rehoboth school children through the years.

We are seeking these class photos so they may be displayed at the Rehoboth Senior Center and made available for public viewing. The photos will be displayed in the senior center for approximately one year, and then will be on permanent display in the former arcade building at Francis Farm, where meetings of the many town boards and commissions are held weekly.

If you would like to participate and donate an old class photo, please drop it off at the Rehoboth Senior Center at the Francis Farm Complex. The senior center is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Please include the school’s name where the photo was taken, along with the class year, grade, and donor’s name, so we may record these details.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your contributions in this project, and for assisting the Rehoboth Historical Commission in its efforts to record and preserve the history of the Town of Rehoboth and its inhabitants.
