Rock Hollow School

Rock Hollow School was built in 1877 in a wooded ravine two miles south of Ringgold in Union Township and housed classes for fifty-seven years. Its first class was held in November 1877, with John D. Davis of Ringgold teaching. Grades one through eight were taught in the one-room building, with an average enrollment of twenty to twenty-five pupils. The school closed in 1934 and was sold in 1937 to Hettie Woodward, a former student and teacher there. In 1980, the heirs of the late Hettie Woodward donated the school to the Morgan County Historical Society for preservation. Because of fears of vandalism at its remote location, the building was relocated to Malta in 1991, where it was disassembled and rebuilt in exact original condition. It was officially rededicated on November 1, 1992.
