Belmont County Children's Home (1880–1981) was an orphanage, located in Tacoma in Belmont County, east of Barnesville, Ohio, United States. It was a brick building with a cupola on each of the central 4-story towers and two three-story wings. It was built on a 65-acre site with hilltop views. A children's cemetery remains. The orphanage closed in 1981 and the empty buildings were demolished in 1990. The children's home is commemorated in a mural commissioned by the Barnesville Village Council, on the west side of the Domino's Pizza building at 146 W. Main St. in downtown Barnesville.

Olney Friends School

Olney Friends School is a small, co-educational boarding and day school affiliated with the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Barnesville, Ohio, the school "challenges students to grow, celebrates intellectual vigor, provokes questions of conscience, and nurtures skills for living in community." Students come from around Ohio, around the country, and around the world to study the college prep curriculum. Currently (2017-2018), the school is attended by 53 students from 14 US states and 10 countries (usually about 30% Quaker and 30% international). Community identity is created each school year during an initial orientation period and maintained through weekend activities, dorm activities, advisory and class meetings, and a variety of service activities. Students work daily in the Main Building and in the residence halls. Sustainability is an ongoing theme in the life of the school, whose 350-acre (1.4 km2) campus includes a certified organic farm that provides food, work, and recreational opportunities for students and staff. Olney Friends School is chartered by the state of Ohio and accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS). They are members of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the Ohio Association of Independent Schools (OAIS), Friends Council on Education (FCE), the Midwest Boarding Schools Association (MWBS), The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) and the Small Boarding Schools Association (SBSA).
