Overview

The Goode and Barren Townships of Franklin County included 8 rural one-room schools during the “early days”. This included: Bear Point, East Center, Hazel Dell, Martin, McGlasson, Mt. Tabor, West Center, and White Oak.

The original purpose of this website was to display information only for the White Oak School so that remains the primary focus of our research efforts. However, other information will be added to the site for nearby schools as it becomes available.

School photos for 1892-1895, 1896-1907, 1908-1912, 1913-1920, 1922-1926, 1928-1929, 1942-1947 and 1950-1951 are missing.

Photos for 1934-1936, 1932-1933, 1926-1928, and 1907-1908 are available, but few or no students are identified at this time.

Eight one-room schools in Goode and Barren Townships are highlighted in pink. Original map created by Paul Rose, Benton.
