Children at School in Barkhamsted
A collection of historical images.
As part of our commitment to documenting and preserving our community’s history, the Barkhamsted Historical Society is building a digital archive of class photos and schoolhouse memories from years past.
Our goals are to identify the generations of students who studied here and to preserve these digital portraits as historical resources for ancestral and genealogical research. Read more about Early Education in Barkhamsted
Help Us Fill in the Blanks
These galleries serve as our active workshop. Pinpointing the exact year, schoolhouse, or names in these vintage photographs is an ongoing puzzle. Because this is a true community effort, we welcome any insights, corrections, or names you can share!
Each photograph is assigned a unique "MD" reference number based on when it was added to the collection. When reaching out to submit information, please note this specific number. Email us at bhs@barkhamstedhistory.us
Search a last name to see if we have a photo of your ancestor as a school child!
