07024.ED – Pictured here are the individual portraits of the students at Grandview Elementary School in the Harpers Ferry and Bolivar areas from the 1940’s. This four-room school closed at the end of 1965. Prior to Grandview School, students attended classes in a two room building on Ridge Street in Bolivar. When the school had outgrown that space, additional space in the basement of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church was rented for $10 a month. In 1930 Grandview School replaced those facilities until integration, at which time the Grandview building was used for 5th and 6th grades. Today the building is rented by the National Park Service.
