McKinley School also known as the West Milton County Normal School was built in 1909. The school was built to serve all grades in one building and was the first first state-supported County Normal School in Ohio to be established following passage of the Rural School Codes Act (1914), a significant piece of legislation that streamlined and regulated the examination and certification process for teachers across Ohio. The neoclassical styled school building has been converted to an apartment building.
