Historians Uncover Early Audrain County Subscription School
Audrain County Historical Society researchers recount the region’s first subscription school known as Sheepshakes Academy. Built on Slaughter family land, it operated with sun-dial timekeeping and backless benches, serving 25 students who paid monthly tuition. The Civil War fire led to its demolition and relocation, later serving as the Slaughters kitchen before Beagles Community Center use.
