Background
The Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County was gifted the deed to the Morgantown School Property in July of 2001. Since then, AAHA has continued working with Partners and Donors to move forward with the restoration of this historic site located at 4706 Free State Rd., Marshall Va. 20115.
AAHA and the school’s former students visit the site, 2002.
Our Mission is…
To stabilize the at-risk building and grounds of the Morgantown School on Free State Rd. This small school served Morgantown's African American Community for over 70 years. Repairing and replacing its damaged wooden support structures is necessary to support a new roof and bell tower. These are initial steps to secure its stability, integrity, and safety.
To seize this opportunity, we ask for the community’s help to save this historic structure in this historic district.
