The people of Fredericktown take great pride in their village
and this community spirit is reflected in many of
the building and structures located within the area. The bandstand

of civic groups, village officials, area organizations and private
individuals, this project was completed in only ten weeks from
inception to completion.
The newly constructed Fredericktown Local School Building
offers an education program rated higher that most schools many
times its size in the State of Ohio. Fredericktown
Local Schools are committed to excellence and will be a premiere
school system to which others will aspire. We will provide all
students with the lifelong learning skills necessary to contribute
to the global community. We continue to be a school district
that thrives on the challenge of preparing a community of learners

The Fredericktown
Community Library which was constructed in 1995 is a excellent
resource for knowledge. The Library has Internet access, thousands
of reading and visual materials and offers special programs of
interest to the community. Over 300 volunteers worked on the
construction of the building, 180 persons provided food for the
workers and a father and son team moved 48 pickup truck loads
of books from the old library to the new facility. A total of
over 800 area residents contributed money, labor and food to
complete this testimonial to community spirit and pride.
