Smithville School Museum and Education Center
The Smithville School Museum and Education Center hosts all kinds
of events for the surrounding community. From 1927 until 1952, the building served as a school for African American children during the segregated Jim Crow era. It is one of nearly 5000 such school that were constructed throughout the Southern United States. Together they became known as “Rosenwald Schools,” named for the benefactor who provided matching funds for their construction. These simple, nondescript buildings have often been overlooked and many have been lost.
It features an exhibit space that calls attention to the building’s history which is being preserved by its current owners, the Montgomery County chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity - the first intercollegiate greek-letter fraternity for African American men in the United States.

I love this!!! How awesome! 🤗🫶🏽
1:23 That location of the video is Great County Farms, and it is not located in Montgomery County Maryland. It is located in Bluemont Virginia.
Love this park!
Well done. Enjoyed watching this. Five decades of Montgomery County residence, this is the first time I’ve heard of the story. We give them voice. Always remember.
Awesome video thank you
Cool video - who build these canals? when and how?

Thanks to our partners at Heritage Montgomery for this great look at the wonder of the Ag Reserve!
Leah, great job on the commentary!
I went to the Underground Railroad Experience trail and I saw directional signs to this museum on the trail map. Kinda forgot about the slave museum when I finished my hike so I'll going to have to return to the area and visit. Any chance the slave museum and the Underground Railroad museum have any association with each other?
Do point of rocks
When can I visit
I never heard of this one. I saw the piece on the news today. I'll plan a visit
Great video!
Yet another reason this is such a great place to live!
Outstanding video of a wonderful cultural and historical asset!
What a wonderful tribute to the extraordinary work of the Menare Foundation And Tony Cohen!
Rest in eternal peace Aunt Gwen 🙏🏽❤️
