Una, We would be most appreciative of copies of these pictures, especially those of Pendleton County. The 'Dixie' is the Dixie School in Riverton, WV. The flood of 1985 demolished it, and it was torn down. The local residents wanted the government to restore the school after the flood because it had been used as a community center, but they tore it down. I will try to fine out more about the school for anyone interested, Bill's uncle was principal there for several years, and Bill will talk to him about it. Thank you for your generious offer. Our association is interested in any and all pictures that have to do with Pendleton County or it's residents, and would appreciate any photos anyone would send us. We are also interested in stories of people, places, and events of the county. We have a book of photos, stories, genealogies, and events that we take with us for anyone to see, and try to share the information we are collecting. We do not have a museum, but hope to have one somewhere in the county. On weekends we try to have someone at the Seneca Rocks Discovery Center [ where we have a display] to share information on the county's history. Our current display has photos of places, events, and people in one case, and a case of memorabilia from the county. Also, we give informative talks at the Seneca Shadows campground at Seneca Rocks on the local history. Koren Fae Rawlings 304-358-3261 Pendleton Co., WVa Historical Preservation Association P.O.
