This old field-school was built c. 1815 in the Oak Grove area approximately five miles east of here. Typical of early educational facilities in South Carolina, it was a private community school somewhat subsidized with state funds from the Free School act of 1812. 10 to 20 students of both sexes were taught here by various male teachers prior to 1865 and by female teachers thereafter. It was replaced by a new two-room building about 1890 and was used as a barn until moved here for restoration in 1984.
