The history of Walnut dates back to the 1860's when during the trusteeship of Joseph Peck, there was a great demand for a school house in the vicinity of what is new Walnut Grove, In 1869, a frame building, costing six hundred dol- lars, was erected at Walnut Grove by Joseph Orth, con- tractor. The land was donated by Harlin Hobbs, who was elected the director. He selected the name of Walnut Grove because of the grove of Walnut trees located there This school building was used for 33 years. Later, John Newby gave two acres of land, and in 1903 an up-to-date brick structure was erected under the trusteeship of F. H. Tescher. The first gymnasium in the state, built for ath- letic purposes only, was erected at Walnut Grove in the year 1908, ! 0
