About this property
The current Nebgen School house was erected in 1936, replacing the earlier 1901 school building. The former structure had itself been an update of the original 1881 log cabin erected by the family of Truman Taylor on land the family provided. The Gilmer-Aikin Laws of the Texas State Legislature of 1947 ultimately resulted in consolidation of school districts in order to assure there would be at least a minimum of basic public-schooling throughout Texas.
