The National Register of Historical Places

Located in the vicinity of Sardis in rural Henderson County, the Doe Creek School was originally built in the 1870's and carefully reconstructed in 2007. The building was used as both a school and a church, with the last classes held there conducted in 1948. Historically, the Doe Creek School is important as an example of a rural, one-room school that would have been used by the surrounding communities. It also is notable as a log building. The one-story, single-pen (room) school is constructed of hewn logs, has half-dovetail notching and sits on a stone pier foundation. While it is unusual for a reconstructed building to be listed in the National Register, the Doe Creek School was accurately reconstructed according to a master plan and incorporated logs and other materials from the original structure.
The Doe Creek Restoration Committee was responsible for refurbishing the building.
