When a student or teacher spends six-eight hours a day at school, the school becomes a second family.  Follow students' footsteps through the original 1876 Fourth Ward School building.  Sit in the same wooden desks, explore alumni's lives, and visit new exhibits in the classrooms of this historic school, now a museum.  All photos courtesy of the Fourth Ward School Museum.
