GAINES – Jeffrey Echevarría, an Albion eighth-grader, removes a historical marker at the Gaines Baines schoolhouse, which was built in 1832 and served as a school until 1944.
Jeffrey and some students at Albion will be repainting three historical markers – one each from Shelby and Ridgeway, and this one of the cobblestone school on Gaines Basin Road. This school now serves as the base for the Orleans County Historical Association.
For several years Albion students have helped Clarendon Town Historian Melissa Ierlan to restore local historical markers. It is one of many ways Albion students participate in service-learning projects to both support and learn about the community.
