A copy of Passano's "History of
Maryland" from the library of the first Trappe
High School (1866-1922) which was located on the
school lot on Main St. (next to the Episcopal
Church). From the label, the book was issued to
Trappe High School on Sept. 22, 1908 and was book
#1,741. It was likely transferred to the new brick
high school building when that opened in 1922. But in
the half century of more it was in the Trappe high
school library, it was never checked out to anyone
and, judging from the very good condition of the
book, it does not look like anyone ever read it.
