Collinsville is a small town of 1,500 people located about 70 miles due north of Dallas, Texas. Around the time it became a town, Collinsville formed Texas' first "Free" school. The school was started by Mrs. Lodoweska (Lodi) Collins (from the family that the name "Collinsville" came) in a one-roomed log cabin. With the population quickly growing, a new school was formed in 1904.This was a large two storied building with six rooms and could hold about four hundred students. "
