Briar Hill School (No. 7) - a county school located on Brian Hill and Cleveland Roads in eastern Fayette County. Around 1877, a two-room county school was located in the area. In 1895, a new frame schoolhouse was built as a primary school (grades 1 to 8). In 1920, a new consolidated building was built with two classrooms (for four grades each). In 1934, the Work Progress Administration funded construction on a new building, which offered instruction for grades 1 to 6.
