Schoolhouses[edit]
The first school house in Buchanan District was built on the northwest corner of the Edward Braden farm, konown c. 1916 as the Ira Bare place.[3] After the original schoolhouse was abandoned, a new one was built in the southwest corner of what was c. 1916 known as the "old Eagon place." and last used for school in 1851.[3] A new school house was built three-eighths of a mile south of the second building and replaced by a brick structure in 1896, and was in use c. 1916.[3]
