Information

Former Keedysville School (entrance on Mount Vernon Drive) – The first public schoolhouse in Keedysville was built in 1868 on the site of the present structure. Two more rooms were added later. Students helped make the fire for the morning heat, shoveled snow, and carried water from Taylor Spring. The toilet was outside. In 1881, the Keedysville election district had five schools including a school for black children. In 1922, this early school was replaced by the present one which operated until 1982. It once served as an active community center for senior citizens. Today it is rented by a daycare, athletic group, and used by the local Ruritan club for fundraisers.
