Fisher School

Fisher School was a one-room schoolhouse for white students in the Union Hall area of Franklin County. The school was built on a stone foundation, and it was heated with a stove. The building did not have electricity, running water, or indoor restrooms. Lavon Dillon was a teacher at the school. In 1937, insurance agents noted that the building was “in a very bad state of repair” and “not insurable.”
