The village of Frankville was named after Francis Teabout, who settled here in 1851.[2] The state road was built through the village, and it led to the early economic success of the community. In its early years it had a saw mill, grist mill, a hotel, and a Presbyterian Church. However, the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad chose a route to the south of the village, which limited its economic growth. The Frankville School was constructed in 1872 and remained in operation until 1962, after which it became a museum.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
