The Story of Hornbine School Teacher, Ester Hopkins’ Wedding Ring

We often have visitors with connections to the Hornbine School. This June, Christina Souza visited and shared her story with us.

During the 1930’s Ester Hopkins was the Hornbine School teacher for many years. She taught in Taunton after the Hornbine School closed in 1937. Her wedding ring was passed down to her daughter, Doris Hopkins who passed it down to Susan Hopkins. Susan Hopkins’ son, Jason Souza, Ester Hopkins' great grandson, gave it to his bride Christina. Christina Souza, a teacher in Attleboro, visited us and told us their story.

The Hornbine School Museum is open every 2nd and 4th Sunday from 2-4 during June – September.
