Schools

This category is the start of documenting the history of the schools in Fair Haven and Sterling.

Today there are no schools within Fair Haven or the Town of Sterling. Students are bussed to Red Creek or Hannibal. Prior to school “centralization” in the 1940s, students walked to the one-room school house nearest them. Several of these old schoolhouses are still standing. If you can contribute information about any of these, let us know.

If you know of anyone who attended one of the one-room schoolhouses and you can interview them regarding details they remember, please let us know.
