Title
Todd School Students Visiting Washington D.C., 1932
Description
1932 - Todd School students in front of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. during an educational tour to historical locations across the country. A sample tour itinerary would have included stops in Toronto, Montreal, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. The students traveled on the Todd School bus coaches that provided both sleeping and kitchen facilities.
The Todd School for Boys (1848–1954) was an independent school located in Woodstock, Illinois founded by Reverend Richard Kimball Todd, a Presbyterian pastor. Under the guidance of Headmaster Noble Hill in the 1920s and Hill’s son Roger in the 1930s, it became known as a progressive school that provided students with a creative educational environment that emphasized practical experience over traditional academics. The main Todd School Campus was located on the northeast corner of the Rt. 47 (Seminary Ave) and Rt. 120 (McHenry Ave.) junction.
