Scope and content
In March of 1976, as Americans began their year long celebration of the 200th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, children and staff from Custer Elementary School posed before one of the Bicentennial exhibits on display in the school's hallway. Many wore costumes depicting 18th century Colonial fashions. Custer School is located in Lakewood at 7700 Steilacoom Blvd. S.W. The original school was named Custer School after pioneer settler Lesour Custer; it was rebuilt in 1953. Photograph ordered by the Washington State Historical Society.
