Property History

In Harrison County, near New Salisbury, the former Flatwood School #9 is a one-room schoolhouse dating to c.1890. Originally located on Flatwood Road, the 900 square-foot school was moved in the 1920s to Nicholas Miller's farm on Highway 135, where it has since served as storage. Miller's daughter, Lillian Miller, taught at the school for one year. Miller's descendants still own the property.
