Flag Grove School (or Flaggs' Grove School) was a school south of Nutbush in Haywood County, Tennessee, now part of Brownsville.
The school was established in the late 1800s.
[edit] History
One acre (ca. 4,000 m²) of land for the school was sold to the school trustees for $25 in 1889 by Benjamin B. Flag who was the older brother of singer Tina Turner's great grandfather, George Flag. This was approximately one third the going rate for land at the time in Tennessee.
Singer Tina Turner attended Flag Grove elementary school in the 1940s.[1][2]
