Description
Iowa Braille School - In Renaissance-like fashion. Watercolor & Photo Composite
The school was opened in 1852 as the Iowa College for the Blind. Mary Ingalls, sister of Laura Ingalls Wilder (author of the Little House on the Prairie series), attended the school. On November 23, 1881, at the age of sixteen, Mary Ingalls was enrolled at the Iowa College for the Blind. After Mary became blind, younger Laura spent many hours reading aloud to Mary and helping her memorize what was regarded as pertinent material. Since there was no school for the blind in South Dakota, the decision was made to send Mary to the school in Iowa, which was referred to them by a traveling missionary.
