A Log Cabin School That Changed a County

​​

 

​

 

 

Built in 1937 by the hands of local Black families, the Springfield Log Cabin School taught generations of children when the county gave them nowhere else to learn. In 1965 it became a Freedom School — a place where students and teachers stood up for the right to vote, to learn, and to be counted. Their courage reached all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

Today we are restoring the cabin as a museum and community center, so its story is never forgotten. We'd love for you to be part of what comes next.
