Title

Todd School Stagecoach, circa 1930

Description

Circa 1930 - The Todd stagecoaches were built by students in the Todd School, under the instruction of A.E. Johnson in the ‘manual shop’ and were used in a western movie that the students filmed on campus.

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.
