Retreat Rosenwald School

Also known as Retreat Colored School, this was one of 10 Rosenwald schools in Oconee County. It is the only one still in existence. The three-room school served rural African-American children from 1924-1950. It was partially funded by the national Rosenwald School Building program. In September 2011 the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has undergone renovation and is open for tours by appointment (864) 903-0547.
