The Scaly Mountain Women’s Club meets May through October in the Old Scaly School House in Scaly Mountain. We enjoy the building and the lovely grounds. The old bell stands ready to call the children to class or announce the death in the community. The building is more than 100 years old. It was originally built as a school for grades one through four. After the children finished grade four they took the bus to Highlands. Mrs. Elaine Griffens was a student here, and she thinks that the school closed in 1946. It then served as church. Later it was used as a community center. After many hours of work the Old School now once again serves as the community center for Scaly Mountain. The children are long gone, but the walls of the old school are filled with pictures of those students.
The August pancake breakfast will be held at the Old School House on Saturday, August 25. Please join us for buttermilk pancakes, plain or with local hand-picked blueberries, Blalock sausage, orange juice, and coffee. The address is 41 Buck Knob Road. Hours are 8:00 until 10:00 A.M
