Preserving history: Renovating Texas' oldest standing schoolhouse
DENISON, Texas (KTEN) — At Denison's Frontier Village and Museum, the restoration of what is believed to be Texas' oldest standing schoolhouse is nearing its final stages. The Holder family, among the earliest settlers in Grayson County, is believed to have constructed the historic building back in 1855.
