Little Red School House ❤

The little red schoolhouse is one of our favorite landmarks in Millwood. Built in the 1870s, its purpose has grown and shifted over the years, changing from chalkboards and classroom lectures into a hub for antique furniture and unique finds. This photograph was taken in 1977 before it became a shop in the early 1990s.

For many of us, the county fair is the highlight of the summer - and Clarke County is no exception! Here a young Tommy Carper stands proudly beside his prize-winning Black Angus c. 1960s.
