Some of you may be interested in some unique history a few miles NW of Alton.
Have you ever heard about or seen the Hamilton Primary School in Otterville? It is an amazing structure on the National Register of Historic Places. It's story can be found at http://www.hamiltonprimaryschool.com
I would appreciate anyone who would help preserve the school by adding to an endowment fund I started in 2016. Please go to www.mortoncommunityfoundation.org/hamilton-school  Thanks, Roy Maguire
