Sherwood Schools
The old school house, 1 mile south of Sherwood,
Tenn., at the Big Spring is made of cedar logs, built about 1890. It was
used for many years as a voting place. Anthony Bledsoe and Elmer Sherwood
were the teachers. The old Sycamore log in the foreground has 258 rings
in it.

I went to first grade in this school. It burned the following summer and
we went to school in the classrooms built around the Gymnasium.
Here's a photo of the 4th grade class
in 1957, taken in the Gymnasium.
