The first school in Lisbon-Sussex was built possibly as early as 1839 and no later than 1841 by George Elliot, using stone from James Weaver’s nearby quarry, presently Halquist’s. The earliest school commissioners, David Bonham, Sherman Botsford, and R. Blount, held their first recorded meeting on May 16, 1842. The early stone school also served the community for church dances, weddings, and political meetings. The original Town of Lisbon annual meeting was held here on April 5, 1842, when Bonham was elected Town Chairman. The school was rebuilt in 1869, was named after the Lisbon Plank Toll Road built in the 1840s, and the elementary school closed in 1951.
