Our Project

Professional contractors have advised that the building integrity can be saved.



AAHA envisions the property as an excellent museum and interpretive space for children and adults. History could be taught digitally as well as on-site.

The original metal roof, its wooden support and bell tower are damaged. The bell is no longer in the tower; we hope to locate and install a period replacement.



To complete extensive stabilization of the entire building and care of the grounds, we must begin with protecting the structure in its current state to avoid further damage.

Although funds to begin some of the initial works are available, the Project requires additional support. We continue to seek funding from local Foundations. The Morgantown Church and entire Community are excited to see that there is activity at the Site. We on occasion receive personal donations by way of memorials of loved ones who attended the school.

AAHA also believes that, as in the past, daily travelers on the busy Free State Road will notice our preservation effort and offer support and accolades for recognizing the significance of the Site.

When past activities were undertaken, some passersby made small on-the-spot monetary donations and others contributed hours of labor helping with tree trimming, mowing and removal of debris.

For the future, A historical marker could be considered for the site to state its historic significance, and in addition a GPS marker could be set for the locations for augmented reality and information to be displayed (google maps/street view).

At the completion of Phase I we expect to have safe entrance and exit to the property, parking area and the building secured for safe access.
