Farmersville's first school house was built at the southwest corner of the Four Corners. It was a two story building with the classrooms on the first floor, and a community room on the second for meetings and dances in 1869. It was torn down and a new school was built at the present day Snowden Elementary site. That schoolhouse was replaced in 1951.
