This is what remains of Madison County’s Pipe Creek Township: District 8 schoolhouse, colloquially known as King’s. There’s not much to be seen of it today, but it’s there under the all the brush and bramble. I’ve found and taken photos of nearly two hundred one-room schoolhouses over the past couple of years, and my process for finding them starts rather simply: I locate a plat map from the late 1800s and compare it to recent satellite images from Google Maps. I get some coordinates and go take a picture. Sometimes it’s not that simple, but in this case, pictures be damned, it pretty much was.
