The Rock Hill School At Linden Hall
Historical Summary
The Rock Hill School at Linden Hall served the east precinct of Harris Township and overlooks the church and cemetery across Brush Valley Road. The present school building dates from 1893 and is the last one-room school established at Rock Hill (Harris Township).The earliest of these schools established around 1802 was the first in western Penns Valley. A second school building on property deeded to the school board in 1850 by Moses Thompson was located in front of the cemetery. An old postcard photo of it appears in the booklet "Sketches of Linden Hall" published by the Linden Hall Garden Club in 1980.The Rock Hill School drew from an area about a mile in diameter, and children came from as far away as the Rufus Sharer farm near Galbraith Gap. Many inscribed their names in the siding of the building, some of which are still legible.
