Peterson School was located on the north side of Ring Road east of Benson Road in Brooklyn Township. This district was formed soon after the Civil War ended. They leased land from a Mr. Hollister so they could build a school in Section 13. The school operated until the late 1950s. The property was sold in 1960 and the building was later razed. 

This photo of the students inside the school in 1955 was copied from a newspaper clipping. If anyone has a better copy of the photo and/or is able to identify any of the people in it, contact Matt Figi at 325-6503 or mfigi48@tds.net. Matt would also like to copy any photos from this school (or any other rural school in Green County) that might be available.
