A Piece of Fredericktown History Revealed

As we began Phase One of restoring the historic Fredericktown High School Gym, we uncovered something incredible—the original doors and windows shown in the architect's 1938 sketch were still there, hidden behind later renovations.

For nearly 90 years, this building has been a centerpiece of our community. Now, we're working to preserve its history for future generations.

Every donation helps us continue uncovering and restoring the features that make this landmark so special.

❤️ Join us in preserving Fredericktown's past for generations to come.
