| Additional Information: | Duck Creek School, which takes its name from the nearby creek, was built in 1871. Duck Creek Road was originally routed fifty feet to the east of its present location, which explains the school’s orientation facing east rather than toward the road. The school closed in 1962 for consolidation with the City of Jefferson school district and, after a brief period of time housing the Duck Creek 4-H club, was converted into a private residence.
