Esme and June sit in front of the Building Phase portrait that occurred in the 1920s as former military men settled in the area and made a small housing boom.
James Ricalton was the first teacher in Maplewood and is honored with his own park.
Chief Tuscan is depicted in a mural. Tuscan school and road is named after him. Is the milk as well?
