The Frenchburg School, a mission enterprise sponsored by the United Presbyterian Church, served Menifee County in eastern Kentucky and the surrounding area for many years as an educational and medical center in addition to its religious activities. For many years since 1909 it provided the only high school educational opportunities in the area and from 1915 for a period of time served as the only hospital between Lexington and Ashland. Although its service has been ended as a school since 1957 and as a hospital since 1967, during its many years of operation from 1909 it performed many real needed services to the people of the mountainous area.
