Introduction

I live in Dixie, Oklahoma. It is a ghost town located about 7 miles south-southeast of Cleveland, OK. This town was essentially bought out by the Army Corp of Engineers to build Keystone Lake. I have started this page as a homage to one of the residents that had lived here the longest. Mrs. Donna Batson. She passed away this morning, October 9th, 2017. She was 94 years old. If it wasn't for her and her family, I wouldn't have known or cared about Dixie. I will post as much information as I can gather so this Oklahoma place is never forgotten.

Dixie School

Dixie school was built in 1910, School District No.77. The Director was E. G. Findley The Clerk was K.D. Taylor The Treasurer was I. Wallace Contractor was J.T. Allen and it was built with Union Labor The school was built out of squared sand stones that were prevalent at the time. The school was badly damaged by an EF4 tornado on June 8, 1974 according to the Batsons. The lower bricks and foundation are all that is left today. Many Dixie residents enjoyed get-togethers around the old school. They would have BBQs and roller skate on the wooden floors. *WARNING: There is a large open cistern near the school. Extreme care is required if exploring this area*
