Only The Rocks Are Left At Wapanucka Academy
The derelict Wapanucka Academy near Bromide sta nds as a limestone ruin beside Delaware Creek. Built starting 1851 with 6 000 tribal funds, it stood 125 by 34 feet, three stories tall with two end wings and a rear kitchen. The site recalls Miss Mary Combs Greenleaf and student tales from 1898 to 1903, and local memories of the copper roof salvaged for war.
