Summary
A historic 1904 African American schoolhouse in Mount Pleasant, SC — one of the last Jim Crow-era buildings east of the Cooper River — is finally getting its long-awaited restoration completed thanks to a $250,000 state grant. After years of fundraising and a prior $10,000 emergency weatherization boost from the town, this funding will cover plumbing, wiring, insulation, and transform the one-room school into a museum and cultural center honoring the legacy of the Snowden community. While some residents hold mixed feelings about the building’s past, organizers are eager to preserve its history and create a space for education and reflection. Exterior work is nearly done, with interior timelines pending due to construction challenges, but momentum remains strong as the community prepares to celebrate its completion.
