Hildreth School

Northern Nicholas County In the rural northern portion of the county is a one room school house that was used from the 1880's until 1941. It also served as a place for religious services. The Public Broadcasting Services used this school in the filming of the movie Huckleberry Finn.

The 600-square-foot white-weatherboard schoolhouse, built in 1895 and closed in 1941, has stayed in fairly good shape over the years, in part because it had a good roof to protect it from the elements, Shrout said.

The building was taken apart and reassembled by a group from the Nicholas County Amish community in July 2014 and later reassembled, painted and shined back into glory.
