The Longwood School

On the corner of Valley Hill and Bodine Roads stands the foundation of what is left of a piece of African American History – The Longwood School.

The stabilization project was completed in October 2005, with re-pointing and setting of the remaining stones, and capping the top of the structure. A two-car parking area is available and a historical plaque commemorates this site where the school was built in 1857 as a one-room schoolhouse for African American children.
