The Lincoln School, prior to its demolition in 1929, was built to educate the children of the mill workers at Mill No. 3. The building was demolished so that a new, larger school could be constructed.
The inscription of the Lincoln School and Village marker reads:
In 1918 William Lincoln Barrell of Lowell MA. purchased Abingdon Mill and transformed it into a large textile center of all concrete construction named Lincoln Mill Village. Phillip Peeler served as its superintendent from 1934-1953.
Built in 1929 this school became the central core of community life until 1956 when Lincoln Village was annexed into the city of Huntsville. Edward W. Anderson served as its principal for 27 years. Many graduates became local and state leaders.
The mill stopped operation in 1957 and burned in 1980.
The historical marker was erected by the Alabama Historical Association in 1985.
