The Dallas County Historical Society is proud of their new and latest addition to their collection of historic relics that tell the story of the county’s history and settlers. The Windyville School bell rings loudly from its new belfry home on the Society’s park grounds. In the past, it rang for many a teacher and their pupils throughout the years. Years of history with every child and teacher that remembers their school days.
