The first mail route through this community went from Henderson to Lexington by way of Mifflin in 1886. Mr. Martin Dale was the first carrier. In 1904 the first rural route from Huron was established. Mr. Ernest Johnson was the first carrier. Our present carrier is Mr. E.W. Bailey, whose route is almost the same as the first route established.

The school was named after Mr. Adam Brown who gave the land for the first school. Our first building was a log house built in 1879. Miss Emma Kimbrough was the first teacher with 35 pupils.

The next house was old Mt. Gilead Church moved hereafter the log house burned in 1901. The present building was constructed in 1926 This building is about one mile north of the original site. The first teacher in this building was mrs. Esta West. The present teachers are Rena Mae Pierce and Laelaleigh R. Page. Our P.T.A. project for the year is the building of a school kitchen for the hot lunch program.
