A photocopy of the only known photograph of the Troutman School (or Trautman School), Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The school was built in the same red-brick style as most of the other township schools. It is believed that it closed in 1911 because not enough students lived in the secluded area where it was located to keep it open. After the school closed the pupils were transferred to the Schoffstall School and the building was sold and razed by its new owner in order to salvage the bricks.
Records indicate that a school existed at or near this location from about 1859, and while the red brick building closed, education did continue somewhere near this location (other than those pupils who attended the Schoffstall School) until about 1919, but possibly not under the jurisdiction of Lykens Township.
