Milan Elementary
Milan's post segregation days status is a mystery. In 1970, there is only one elementary school listed for the town, while there had been two in the years before that (one white, one black). Its post office box number (248) does not match up with the one used for segregated Milan Elementary (297). However, though, it used the name Milan Elementary.
This site does not look like its been abandoned for 40 years. Twenty to 25? Quite possible. Forty? No.
A third factor in me thinking this was used past segregation is that this school was only built in about 1959 because the frame building in use at that time was in pitiful condition. It is unlikely that a county as poor as Telfair would close a building as new as this one.
