At this writing, school children and their families park at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds where Public School # 3 once housed children for education. The Fair has been in operation since 1955 as written in its history online.  The school was built in 1917, long before the Fair was on those grounds. 

The school was demolished in 1981.  At one time, it was a large,  fine and stately building existing for over sixty years. It was one of Henry K. Klutho’s designs and opened in 1917.

See you tomorrow,
