The Hardison Mill one-room schoolhouse was created from the outpouring of love and generosity from thousands of individuals when beloved country music singer and Hardison Mill resident, Joey Feek, passed away from cancer in March 2016. Countless cards and letters from people all over the country and world sent condolences, and encouragement along with cash and checks to help in any way they could. The money received was nearly a hundred thousand dollars. A year later, Joey’s husband Rory used that money to build the schoolhouse to educate their daughter Indiana alongside other children from the surrounding community. The goal of the schoolhouse is to teach the kids to love learning and skills to grow, love life, and feel hope in a world where many of those things are challenged at school, home, and in work spaces. As an integrated farm school, the schoolhouse serves all children who are special in our eyes, whether their needs are unique or typical.
