Description
Fairywood School, located on Broadhead Road, was erected in 1922. The school was named for its location in the woods because people in the area referred to the grove where it sat as the “woods full of fairies.” A small one-story building with only four rooms, the school closed in 1939. It re-opened in 1943 and additions were constructed in 1946, 1947, and 1951. Fairywood School closed in 1984.
