    1. Re: Weeks School
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZKB.2ACE/439.1.1 Message Board Post: I live in St. Louis County so I am not very familiar with the area that the school is in. Here is what I can tell ya. I was photographing an abandoned house on the north service road of I-70, in the general area of the Truxton exit. When I finished it was still kinda nice so I went driving. Where the service road met the bridge over 70, I turned North and drove. I believe this is hiway A, it is paved. I saw a guy with a vintage fire engine and a lot of farms. About 3-5 miles up the road, the road makes a 90 degree right and then an immediate 90 degree left turn. After that left the school is on the left. There is a small shed, and what might be an outhouse on the property. Someone cares enough that the grass around it was cut with probably a brush hog or large riding mower. I found Weeks school facinating. There was a broken window so I stuck my camera through and took a few shots. I just wondered about the history of the school. If you can find more info, I would be very grateful. Someone emailed me and told me that there is also a Weeks Community Center a little farther north on A but I did not get to that.

After looking at the map I would say that the highway A is in Warren County,,,,, Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: <sundance333@hotmail.com> To: <MOMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 9:09 AM Subject: [MOMONTGO] Re: Weeks School > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZKB.2ACE/439.1.1 > > Message Board Post: > > I live in St. Louis County so I am not very familiar with the area that the school is in.
