The Sheppard Family arrived in Allenspark in 1959. As you can see from the picture, there are four of us, but that was just a start. There were more to come later! The Old Allenspark School is located about 1 block east and 1 block south of the Post Office and was painted Pink, of all colors to choose, and consisted of one large room. The room could be divided by a large curtain. The school was made of logs and, as I remember stayed fairly warm in the winter. Mrs. Miller (killed in an airplane crash in 1961) was the main Teacher and Mrs. Carter was more or less a helper. We went through plenty of teachers and helpers over the years as we "hillbilly kids" were pretty onery!! I hope to add a picture of the outside of the school if I can find one! Can you help?
