Buckingham High School

In his book, 200 Years of Freemasonry in Buckingham County, Virginia, Carl Coleman Rosen, Sr. related that, in 1897, the Andersonville Masonic Lodge No. 242, A. F. & A. M. joined forces with the Buckingham School Board to build the building that served as the Buckingham High School (grades 1 – 11) until 1916.

This was the school which proudly held its commencement in Buckingham Courthouse in 1905.
