The Coal Miners' School (also called the Workman School) was established during the 1870s coal boom in Vienna Township. Organized by the miners themselves, this school met in a two-story building one-half mile south of Woodford's Corners on the east side of Sodom-Hutchins (now Sodom-Hutchings) Road and 200 feet up the lane of the former Eli Taiclet farm.
