Rowan County began in 1856, created from land in Fleming
and Morgan Counties. The old Rowan County Courthouse is, as we have mentioned, being restored and transformed into a center
for the arts. Visiting the old building with many of its original features will bring back many memories to long time residents.

and it also has a new roof.

The "Moonlight School" where many studied who
would not otherwise have had an opportunity for basic education has been moved to First Street. The moonlight school
- only held on moonlight nights - was established in 1911 by Cora Stewart.
