The Lucketts School in Lucketts, Virginia was built in 1913. It is a wood-frame schoolhouse with elements of Colonial Revival and Craftsman style. It was originally known as Lucketts High School and was expanded in 1919 with additional classrooms and in 1929 with a small auditorium. It was one of the first multi-room schools in Loudoun County, and remains one of the best-preserved early 20th century schools in the county. The last high school students graduated from Lucketts in 1938, but the school was used as an elementary school until 1972 when a new Lucketts Elementary School was built on an adjoining site. citation|title=PDFlink| [http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Loudoun/053-0287_Lucketts_School_1993_Final_Nomination.pdf National Register of Historic Places Nomination: Lucketts School] |1.69 MB|date=July 30, 1993 |author=Chrissie Beck|publisher=National Park Service]

In an effort to preserve the old school for community use the first Lucketts Fair was held in 1972, a tradition which has continued as a means of financing the maintenance of the building. It is now operated as the Lucketts Community Center by the Loudoun County Department of Parks and Recreation.
