Then and Now: Graham School Buses

Then – A 1915 photo (CCHS #2001) of ten horse drawn school wagons in front of the Rosewood (Harrison-Adams Township) School in Adams Township, Champaign County, Ohio.  Based on other photos of horse drawn school wagons each wagon probably held 10-12 students.  Horse drawn school wagons were mostly superseded by gasoline powered buses by about 1920. The Champaign County Historical Society thanks Deb Lewis of the Rosewood Grocery for sharing this photo.

Now – 2018 photo school buses at Graham High School.  What a change in school transportation.  What changes will the next 100 years bring?
