The Mount Vernon School (Stonewall) was located on the Brown's Gap Road about three miles southeast of Port Republic. The land for the school was deeded to the Stonewall District School Board by Sara Sipe and others on November 10, 1883 and the school was opened for the 1883-84 school session. The original school was replaced by a new building in 1928 built by Eutsler Brothers of Grottoes for $1550. The Mt. Vernon School was closed after the 1944-45 school session.
