Back to School with the Greendale Historical Society
Step back in time and explore what school life was like for generations of Greendale students!
The Greendale Historical Society’s new temporary exhibit, Back to School, highlights student life, school traditions, and the culture of Greendale’s schools through the years. Visitors can get a glimpse into the experiences of local students and see how education and everyday school life have evolved within the community.
Whether you attended school in Greendale, have children in the district today, or simply enjoy local history, this exhibit offers a fun opportunity to connect with Greendale’s past.
The exhibit is on display now at the Greendale Welcome Center, located at 5680 Broad Street, Greendale, WI 53129.
