Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: March 17, 2009
Caption: Fence Stile
Additional Description: For many years livestock roamed the open range around the Higgerson Landing Community. The Higgerson School and its one acre yard were fenced to protect the yard from the livestock. Instead of a gate, the children entered and exited the yard by crossing the fence on a stile, similar to the one constructed here. The daily use of the stile instead of a gate precluded the possibility that a gate was ever left open by one of the children.
