The Delano district of Wichita, Kan., is full of history and future alike. It served as an R&R destination for cowboys driving cattle along the Chisholm Trail in the 1800s. Today, it is blossoming into a modern destination for new residents, tourists and shoppers. That nexus is what makes the district well suited for the American Overseas Schools Historical Society Museum, which opened to the public April 15.
The American Overseas Schools Historical Society (AOSHS) was founded in 1978 as a way to draw attention to the history of Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS), established in their current incarnation just after World War II. (The Department of War oversaw military schools established in the Panama Canal area in the 1900s, the Philippines in 1918 and Cuba in the 1930s.) The group was founded by former DoDDS educator Dr. Thomas Drysdale, and many past and present board members were educators as well.
