Artifact Overview

The students of the Greenfield Village and Associated Schools of the Edison Institute began publishing the Herald in 1934. They took the name from a weekly newspaper printed and sold by Thomas Alva Edison when he worked for the Grand Trunk Railroad in 1862-63. The students' version included articles on academic, social, and recreational activities. The publication continued until 1952.
