The Skinner School was located in rural Illinois, perhaps rural Illinois. The photograph was taken in 1885. Unfortunately the image is not very high quality and it is difficult to make out details about thre children's clothing. It does show, however, the kind of small school many children atended in rural areas. The school looks to have had 13 students.
