Pioneers, who were camped near a spring on property of William S. Reeves (1794-1879) while waiting for their land grants, built this one-room schoolhouse about 1855. The leader of the group was William L. Holder (1820-1876), who migrated to Grayson county from Missouri. His son Clinton L. (1845-1897) Later used the cabin as a residence. In 1974 the structure was moved to the old settlers village and restored.
