School children outside the second Gilbert & Bennett School (date unknown). Notice the open doors behind the children, these were fire escape doors that led from each and every classroom. The second Gilbert school was state of the art for it's time and still stands today.

The Red Shop on the corner of what is now Old Mill Road and Route 57. The water wheel on the left was powered by water from a pond now called Vidmark's pond. Water was channeled from the pond to the wheel on wooden planks. This building was torn down in 1869.

History of Redding is a not a business or an organization..It's one person working to promote the history of his hometown
and surrounding areas. All costs are out-of-pocket so donations and/or sponsorships will allow me to dedicate more time
and effort to research and updates.
