Tour Stop 12: The Lower Fox Creek School
The Lower Fox Creek School was built in 1882 on land donated by school's first superintendent, Stephen F. Jones. Mr. and Mrs. Jones' daughter, Loutie, attended school in this very building, going through all eight grades. This one-room school provides a setting for educating local area students until 1930 when it was abandoned and it reverted back to the ranch owner. Feel free to peek through the windows as you imagine children studying their lessons and learning the three "R"s, Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic.
