The Liberty School was established in the early history of the county, School District #21.  The first school in this district was called Baxter’s School, named after the first teacher, Wiley Baxter, located about one mile south of where the new Liberty School was built.  C. M. Grady donated one acre of land for the school in 1885 or 1886.  Mr. Baxter taught several terms.  Ed Coffey taught in 1890 and in 1892 Eli Thompson was the teacher.  Later this building was moved to the new location for the Liberty School and was used several years as a school and a church.

Jeff and Mattie Holt donated a few acres of land west of their home on the old Brownwood and Coleman road for the new school and community.  Wesley Kile gave a similar strip of land across the road on the south.  H. H. Brown was also a contributor.

In 1895, the old building was sold to H. J. Lloyd who moved it away and used it for a residence.  Both the old and the new buildings were one room, box type buildings, but the latter was considerably larger than the first.  After 1906, two teachers were employed and a partition was made to make two rooms.  In 1916, this building was sold to the Baptist Church.

School house (number three) was constructed in 1916 and was across the road on the Kile place.  The first floor consisted of three classrooms where grades 1 through 10 were taught.  An auditorium occupied the second floor.  Weekly chapel was held, and was looked forward to by the pupils.  Good programs and plays furnished many hours of entertainment for the people in the community.

In the mid-thirties the upper grades were consolidated with and bussed to the Buffalo School.  During the early forties only the primary grades were taught at Liberty.  A lunchroom was in operation to serve hot meals to the children.  Liberty closed in the mid-forties and the building was razed in the summer of 1946.
