Elementary School Archives A-F: Cane Run

Official Name: Cane Run Elementary School

Year Opened: 1832

Cane Run School originally opened as a log cabin in 1832 on the estate of Madison Miller.  That building stood for 127 years until 1959 and its site later became the Parkway Drive-In Theatre.  The school has operated in as many as seven different buildings since its creation.  The second school building on Millers Lane West was later used as a corn crib.  A fire destroyed the third school.  A fourth school was constructed in 1928.  That school received additions in 1932, 1941, 1944, and 1949.  The present school was constructed and dedicated in 1972.
