From the time when kids had to walk uphill both way to school. There was dozens of country schools across the county ensuring that no kid had to walk more than 3 miles
The Yuma County School project set out to locate and mark as many of these schools as possible Anyone wanting more information can stop into the Wray Museum
As the population dwindled and transportation became easier, consolidation started. In 1951 Fairview 70, Hilltop 115 & South Star 6, joined together to forn Fairview 6. The Hilltop school house was moved here and is the building that is still standing just a few feet to the south of where you are standing
