Hopkins One Room School - a look back in time

Just north of Albany on US-127 in Clinton County, KY, you'll find the historic Hopkins School, established 1858 and used through 1962.

Its doors were closed as a school when students began attending Albany Elementary. After that, many will remember, it was painted red and used as a church, and later until the restoration effort it was used for storage.

It was restored in 1997 and has been furnished in the original condition - a sweet, rural, one room school house.
