The Brothers' Spring, located down this slope, provided clean water, an important campsite, and a recreational park in the 18th and 19th centuries. On this hill in 1867, freedmen of the area and the Salem African Church (St. Phillips Moravian) established the first school for their children in the county. The spring was included in the land provided by the Salem Moravian Congregation, and the African-American community raised for the building, known as the Freedmen's School, the Colored School, and the African School. The one-story, bell-towered school was used until a new school was opened ca. 1890.
