This is a picture of the children attending the Atco School in 1940-41. A one-room school, it was located just across from Steep Hill Road on what is now Route 652 (was 106) about one-and-one-half miles from the Narrowsburg Bridge. Mr. Geist, the teacher at the time, taught all eight grades, shoveled the snow, swept the floors and kept the fires going in the wood stove. When the ice on the pond was safe, he sometimes took the kids skating in the afternoon. From the Grace L. Johansen collection.

The Tusten Historical Society’s hours at the Western Sullivan Public Library, Tusten-Cochecton branch in Narrowsburg, are Mondays from 1 to 3 p.m., Fridays from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
