The Clarksburg Schoolhouse was a historic school building located on Clarksburg Road in Clarksburg, Illinois. The school opened circa 1892 and was originally known as Bethel School; it changed its name following the growth of Clarksburg in the ensuing years. The school served as Clarksburg's public primary school for children in the first through eighth grades; students from the school continued their education at Shelbyville's high school. After the school merged into Shelbyville's district in the 1960s, the building became a community center for Clarksburg Township; it served in this capacity until 1998. The building was the only surviving community schoolhouse in the area.[2]

The schoolhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 2001.[1]

The schoolhouse was demolished and burned by arsonist's without notice in March 2018. See photos from July 2017 and photos of it burning in March 2018 here: http://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2018/03/illinois-last-known-two-room-wooden-schoolhouse-goes-up-in-flames/
