This one-room 1875 school originally stood near Walnut Grove Church on today’s Highway 124 (Braselton Road) near the Methodist Campgrounds. After it was no longer used as a school, the Davis family, who had donated the original building materials, moved it in 1911 to their farm on Highway 124 near Lendon Lane and Highway 316, where it served as a gristmill, carpenter and mechanic shop, and later a storage shed. Hamilton Davis donated the building to the society in 1985, and in 1986 it was relocated and restored to its 1875 appearance. Members of the Gwinnett Historical Society made the school benches and wall pegs used for coat books, while the teacher’s desk, bell, old slate, schoolbooks, and outdoor bell were donated, and Larry Mabrey donated the rocks used for the chimney. In the single room, one teacher taught seven grades, students brought lunches from home, made their own games for recess, girls used an outhouse, boys used the woods, and students walked up to three miles each way to attend school. The school opened for tours in 1988, was dedicated on April 17, 1994, and restoration costs through 1992 were about $10,000.
