Brunersburg School, Noble Township

The Brunersburg School, sometimes known as "The Burg," was located in Brunersburg on Haller Road in about the middle of Section 15.  District #5 (Later District #4) had several different locations in Brunersburg.  The one room school that was there was relocated and rebuilt after a tornado went through on March 28, 1920. The small school was completely destroyed.  In 1921, four lots were purchased from Charles Smith and the ground was made ready for a new school.
