The historic Brown’s Mill School at the intersection of Angle and Brown’s Mill roads in the Village of Kauffman will be open 12:30 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 6 and 7. The school was built in 1836, two years after the Pennsylvania Legislature passed the Free School Act. In 1921, the school closed and stood empty, deteriorating until 1934 when a memorial association was formed to restore the building. The Brown’s Mill School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. In 2002, the nonprofit Franklin County Historical Society purchased the Brown’s Mill School from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission through the generosity of Thomas G. and Nancy H. Burkey and family. The school is dedicated to the memory of the Honorable Enos H. Horst and Mildred Sheller Horst. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.
