Continuing to explore Pioneer Village, this card focuses on a old American country tradition, the one room schoolhouse, where children of all ages would gather to study together under the tutelage of the solitary teacher.

The description states:
ONE-ROOM COUNTRY SCHOOL WITH DESKS, BOOKS AND RECORDS INTACT
One of 20 buildings, on 2 city blocks, housing 20,000 items, showing man’s progress since 1830. Located 132 Miles West of Lincoln, Nebr., on U.S. 6.
This card, like the entire series, dates from the 1960s.
Is there a record of teachers that taught at the one room schoolhouse at pioneer village? I am under the impression that my grandmother may have taught here in Minden Nebraska. Ruth Rusmussen Peterson was her name!
Where can I find this information?
Thank you for responding?

My only connection to Pioneer Village is ownership of these postcards, and thus I do not have an answer for you. I am rather pessimistic such a record exists as there was no mandate to collect or maintain such information. Without a person assigned to collect these names, and an official place to send and store them, they are likely lost to history.
You can call Pioneer Village directly toll-free at the number on their web site: http://pioneervillage.com. If anyone has such documents or knows where they might be kept, it is likely that the staff at Pioneer Village would be helpful.
