NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A little, one-room historic school house has made a journey across miles to its’ final destination in downtown Franklin. You may have been following the story of the Lee-Buckner School, in Spring Hill, a Rosenwald School, built to help educate African American students in Williamson County when segregation kept Blacks and Whites apart. The Heritage Foundation is preserving the school and its’ history.
