Public school in Vandalia, Missouri ca. 1907.
Vandalia is a city in northeastern Audrain and extending into southeastern Ralls Counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.
Vandalia was laid off by Aaron McPike and Judge Harmen Caldwell in 1870 and platted in 1871. The city was named after Vandalia, Illinois.[8] Aaron McPike transferred the lumber used to build the first homes from Louisiana, Missouri.---This was copied from Missouri Nostalgia, a private Facebook group.
