Recently, we learned about the boom of Sears Catalog Homes, especially in rural communities. During our discussion, one student asked:
“Does Scotland have any Sears Catalog Homes?”
We need our community’s help in answering that question! Do you know of a Sears Catalog Home in or around Scotland? Maybe you’ve heard stories about one, know where one might be located, or even live in one yourself!
Please comment on this post or email Miss Smith (tia.smith@k12.sd.us) if you have any information. We would love to hear from you and share what we discover in class!
