“Building preservation: the center was formed by a group of local citizens to save their community school after it was closed. They planned to return the school to its original role as the center of the community rather than have it left vacant. The main school building was built in 1926 using rock construction methods that cannot be easily replicated today. The gymnasium was built in 1950. The property is now listed on the nc study list of historic places. Substantial renovation improvements have been made throughout the years. The objective of the building restoration project is to preserve and maintain the building/grounds for the continued use of the community. It also preserves a great example of the 1920's era architecture and construction techniques. It is estimated that over 15,000 people visit the buildings and grounds annually.”
