2024 Ornament
This year's ornament is Harlan-Butlerville Elementary! The school opened February 1, 1939 with 139 students and six teachers. The school brought together students from four smaller schools: Butlerville, Middleboro, Level and New Hope. In 1960, additions to the building included four classrooms, restrooms and a kitchen. A new library, music and storage rooms were added in 1979. It stopped being used as an elementary school in 2021 and was purchased by Harlan Township.
This building is beloved by many and has been the hub of the community for decades.
