Cold Spring School stood northeast of here on land donated in May 1857 by Thomas Baskerville for a school and meetinghouse. Early in the Civil War, Camp Trousdale used it as a military hospital. In 1866, David Lipscomb organized the Portland Church of Christ there. Landowners Jim and Bill McGlothlin later gave the schoolhouse to the citizens of Portland for a museum of local history, and in September 1975 it was relocated to Richland Park.
