In 1917, John Duke’s father deeded and gave the land for a new community center three miles east of Pittsburg on a road known as The Duke’s Chapel Road. Residents donated all the materials and labor to establish a building to be used as a church and a school for the community. This was originally a oneroom building and a second room was added later as the number of students increased. A well was dug by hand and each family provided loads of wood for the great heaters needed to keep the rooms warm in winter.
