Lincoln School was established in 1880 to provide education for African-American children in the Canton area. It served that purpose until 1955. One of a handful of red brick school houses of it's kind, it remains as a tribute to rural education in this country.
Plans to restore Lincoln School are currently under way. Information on this project (and how you can become involved) is available at canton City Hall.
