Little Rock School House
Landmark #190 Millard County Visited: June 28, 2014 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? The still-standing Little Rock School House, the first building in Fillmore financed by taxpayers!
What makes it historical? THE PLAQUE SAYS: Before the close of 1851, the pioneers of Fillmore had erected a log school room inside the fort. It had split logs for seats, a dirt roof & floor. In 1854 an adobe church was built which served as school. In 1867, three small school buildings were erected. This is one of them; the first building financed by taxpayers. Contracters Dellie Webb & Ova Petersen. Builders: Horace & James Owens, Nat Baldwin, Lewis Tarbuck, John Ashman, James & Ralph Rowley, Hans & Christian Hanson & John Powell.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
