ONE ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE - This log school house (circa) 1840) was located 1 mile from Cox's Station which was the first fort built in Nelson County. The 1882 Precinct Map shows the original location of school in the midst of agricultural fields, not in town. The location ensured that no child would have to walk more than five miles to school.
ONE ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE - In 1976, the John Fitch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution moved the log school house from its original location to the old Pioneer Cemetery. It has served as a symbol of early KY commitment to education and life in the nineteenth century. Thousands have enjoyed hands-on educational experiences inside. Sponsored by the John Fitch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Dedicated June 28, 2018.
