As we were researching areas along the White Lightning Trail, we came across this old schoolhouse. It is located next to Puncheon Creek in Washburn, TN (Grainger County). The community of Washburn was apparently known as Puncheon Camp and was named Washburn in 1898. Up until 1801, it had been the County Seat for Grainger County. The school building is on private property and will likely torn down due to the hazards of its condition.
