In 1905 the District 6: Jennings School was located on land carved out of Calvin Curtis’ twelve-acre plot¹. As an insitution, though, this Licking Township schoolhouse dates to much earlier: In 1862, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Clark were married in the middle of what’s now South County Road 200-West in front of the original District 6 schoolhouse, immediately after a spelling bee was held². 

The extant building was built in 1894 per its lintel. Evidently, the schoolhouse was still in use as of 1915, when classes were taught there by Kate Curtis³. Though not much information exists about this place, we do know that the District 6 school closed at some point prior to the 1918 school year, when eight schools in Licking Township were reported to be in operation⁴. 

Today the abandoned school appears to be used for agricultural storage. It sits just east of Lake Mohee in southwestern Blackford County.
