M.J. & C.S.
The Brumback School was named after John Brumback, a wealthy blacksmith who put aside the land to be used for a public school. It was built in the mid 1800’s on land that is now part of the Dawes Arboretum, located on Jacksontown Road south of Newark.[1] This little schoolhouse closed its doors in 1920 when its students were incorporated into the Jacksontown school system. After it ceased to be a school, the building was turned into a private residence. It can still be seen on the grounds of the Dawes Arboretum.[2]
