Flat River Historical Museum celebrates the class of 1873
With graduations just around the corner, the Flat River Historical Museum will showcase a new display for a year-long celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Class of 1873, the first class to graduate from the new Greenville Union School. This new school sat high on the hill at the foot of south Franklin Street, on land donated by an early settler, Manning Rutan. The building was dedicated Friday, September 3, 1869, and occupied for school purposes the following Monday. It provided accommodations for all the schools of the village, thus becoming known as the Union School.
