Erected in 1880, this building typifies late nineteenth-century rural schools. The school, commonly known as Fleming School, stands on its original fieldstone foundation on land sold to the school district by Eliphalet and Laura Lewis. Contractors Tabor and Kingley built the school for $925 to replace a log one erected in 1850. Fleming School, the largest of eight rural schools in the township, closed in 1957. In 1993 it was restored for use by the community.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
