who is the owner? I’m interested in talking with them
The owner lives on the property in a mobile home.
I am with Jonestown Films out of Richmond, Ky and we are very interested in renting this site for a feature film coming up soon. Does anyone know who I can contact?

I attended this school from 3rd grade to 8th grade (the highest it went to at the time) from 1982 to 1988. The class of ’88 was the last before it was closed for good. There were 8 students in the class and 7 graduated to 9th grad (high school). From then on, all children who would normally attend Buckeye elementary were to be bused to the county seat, Lancaster elementary.
Camp Dick, Mason, and Paint Lick were the other elementary schools in the county. At the time I was there, those schools continued to provide services.
Thank you. The page has been updated with the new information!
