"About This Blog

Rich Hill is a small town in Bates County, Missouri, known as the "Town That Coal Built." Since 2008, this blog has been digging through old newspapers, county histories, family photos, and community memories to piece together the stories of the people, businesses, churches, and events that shaped Rich Hill — from its coal-mining boom years to the present day. Here you'll find everything from town-defining moments (train depot ambushes, natural gas jubilees, the founding of local churches) to the quieter stories of the people who called Rich Hill home — including a few who went on to leave their mark on the wider world. Have an old photo, a family story, or a correction? I'd love to hear from you — reach out at beardonme@gmail.com

School Remodeled (August 26 1982)

Rich Hill Mining Review (Aug. 26 1982)

Rich Hill grade school students will notice a change in their classrooms upon their return Friday. At least those in the north side classrooms will. The large windows have been replaced as shown above. The remodeling is an effort to cut down heat loss and to provide more comfortable classrooms in the winter months.
