Chloe Aurelia Clark (Willson) - April 16, 1818 - June 2, 1874 - Dedication Plaque
Dedicated to the selfless service of Chloe Clark, the first American school teacher to come to the Puget Sound region. As an unmarried 22 year old, she arrived in 1840 at the first Fort Nisqually in today's DuPont, to open a school in the wilderness and went on to devote her life to the teaching profession. This dedication further honors all women and men who have followed Chloe Clark in the teaching profession and making significant contributions to the success of our country and its citizens.
