Description
Lone tree school district was created in response to the consolidation of a number of rural schools with the city schools in 1918. The people living in the lone tree district did not want to send their children into Fallon for schooling and so created the Lone Tree School district out of what was formerly part of the St. Clair district. School began in September of 1918 and the first teacher was Erma Patterson. The first Lone Tree school house was the old Fairview school house. In 1924 a new school house was designed by W.L Crehore and met the requirements to become a "Standard Rural School" in 1925. After closing in 1956, the school building was used as a family home.
