Locust Grove School

Inscription.
The one- room school was a common sight in rural Ohio
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Locust Grove
No. 12 housed elementary school classes until the late
1920’s on it’s original site; S. Bird Road at E. Possum
Road in Clark County, near Springfield, Ohio.
The consolidation of rural school districts led to the
end of these one-room schools. Locust Grove School
was dedicated in Carillon Park in 1976.
