About Us

This 19th century one-room African American schoolhouse was moved to this location in 1867. It is one of the oldest Maryland schols to be organized and maintained by a black community. It ceased operations as school in July 1966. The school was named n honor of the Reverend Ezekiel Stanley. Between 1867 and 1962, the youth in the African-American community of Christ Rock attended this school, also known as Rock School, which s now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The school serves as a reminder of what schools were like back in the years betwen the Civil War and the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement.
