American Normal School Association meets in Buffalo, New York

The American Normal School Association held its second annual meeting in Buffalo, New York with representatives from almost every state in the nation.  The fledgling organization had its first meeting in Trenton, New Jersey the previous August. The association lasted until 1870 when it merged with the National Teachers' Association and the National Association of School Superintendents to form the National Education Association.  (By John Osborne)
