Description
View from the back of the Chamnesstown School. Jonathan S. Chamness donated the land for this one-room school that was built
in 1860. The original school had a wood stove and log seats. The school was
rebuilt twice, moved and then abandoned when the government bought the land.
The old school is located near Crab Orchard Lake on Refuge Road.
The storm cellar was constructed in the 20s after a devastating tornado.

Another interesting view of history. I would love to go back in time and see the students inside.
Wanda Brandon replied:
Thanks, Bob. Wouldn't that be grand to go back in time and visit such a school.
