Abstract:
In 1891, Madison County had seventy-nine schools to educate the county's six thousand schoolchildren. Between 1920 and 1940, many of these schools were consolidated into five. These five had walls constructed of rock. By the 1980s, all five had closed except one. Now the citizens of these five school communities are working together to renovate and restore the buildings as community centers.
