Fallasburg School (Vergennes District No 1) was established in 1867 (30 years after Fallasburg was settled) to replace a log schoolhouse destroyed by fire, and was in-use as a school until 1961. In addition to being used for school, it was also used town meetings, social events, funerals, and church services. It is a wooden frame schoolhouse covered in tongue-and-groove clapboard siding, painted white, with a metal roof and an intact bell tower with a pyramid roof(Submitted on February 14, 2023, by J.T.
