The Free Hill Community is in the process of restoring the
70+ year old school-house building and developing community park. Which is
something that the community has never had. The community was awarded a grant from the USDA Rural Development Agency to establish the park at the community center location. One of the requirements for the grant was matching funds. We have made a lot of progress, but we are still in need of further assistance. We are trying to create a safe haven for our children and a welcoming place for the family. ~ The Free Hill Community ~ |

One of
the goals of the Friends of Free Hill is to assist the community and
residence in sharing their unique and very special heritage with the
growing amount of interested tourist. That heritage being a community
built and owned by pre Civil War Freed Slaves. We
have plans to restore the Rosenwald school on Free Hill, which is on the
national register of historic places, as well as a establish a welcome
center and a museum with a focus on Southern Blacks, that is Southern
Black artifacts and history." |
