The Liberty Street School built in 1852 on the corner of Liberty Street and Depew Ave became the first public school in Nyack. The building, which contained grades 1-12 stood for 127 years. The exhibit gives us glimpses of the students and teachers from the 19th century as well as photographs, mementos and stories contributed by alumni for whom the school played an important role in their lives. Archives of the Nyack Historical Society and the Nyack Library Local History Room provided much source material for the exhibit.
