Townships
As communities developed throughout Lawrence County, Ohio, churches and schools were among the first institutions established. Often sharing the same buildings, they became gathering places for residents and helped shape the lives of early settlers.
The county’s earliest schools were often supported by local families who contributed money to hire teachers. As education evolved, institutions such as Getaway’s Orchard Academy helped prepare teachers and expand educational opportunities throughout the region.
