Return to Rocky Hill



2008-06-15 - Rocky Hill Road, Adair County, KY - Photo By Nina Nixon.
Lynn (Blackie) Nixon one of old Rocky Hill School's many distinguished alumni, paid a sentimental visit in August of 1995 to the school he attended from 1946 to 1953, before transferring to Columbia Grade Center, where he played forward on the late Hubert Edwards' Columbia Graded Redhounds basketball team. Only remnants of the building remain today. Lynn Nixon now resides in Hillsboro, IN, and Sawmill Road. All the children of the late Frank and Polly Nixon attended school there, including the late Jimmy Nixon, Dorothy Nixon, and Lynn's twin brother, Glenn (Red) Nixon. The country school site is just north of the Columbia Western Bypass, less than one mile from Adair County Elementary School, which, if it had been in existence back when the Nixon kids went to school, would have been a much closer walk or horseback ride than they made, though today they could ride by school bus to the Adair County Schools District Campus.
