Lee Kellogg School 8th Grade Visit - 2007
The Friends of Beckley Furnace played host to a very well prepared group of 8th graders from one of the smallest public school in our area: Lee Kellogg School, located in Falls Village, CT. This year they had their largest 8th grades in several years: 22 students.
Here are pictures from their visit to Beckley Furnace. We look forward to welcoming Lee Kellogg back in future years!
