John Henry Swann deeded this land about 1900 for educational purposes so that area children would not have to travel to Little Valley (3 mi. N) to school. In response, the Little Valley School closed and its building was relocated here. At its peak, Swann Hill offered ten grades of instruction to more than 100 students. In 1929, it was consolidated with the Pettit School (2 mi. W), and the schoolhouse was relocated again to enlarge that institution. Though operating only briefly, Swann Hill School was typical of early rural schools of the period. (1992)
