Friends of Historic Spring City have been the main force behind the preservation of the Old 1899 Spring City Public School. We also have a barn preseration program and continue to keep the Spring City building current with the National Register. (If you would like to see the history of the Old School pleas eclick on the 'Old School Project' button to the left.)
