LOG SCHOOL HOUSES
Many one room log school houses were scattered
around the area near the numerous small settlements.
Pleasant View, also called ‘Hardscrabble’ was a one
room log school house erected two miles south of
Spence. Another log school was located at upper
Richland Creek about three miles southeast of Spence.
The Tarlton School called the ‘Board Shanty’ due to
boards being nailed over the cracks of the log structure, was two miles northeast of Spence. A school was
located in the Brimmage district two miles east of the
Tarlton School. Liberty School, also a one room log
building was three miles north of Spence.
Liberty Hill School, early 1900's
Was later owned by John Gregory who made the old schoolhouse into a barn
