A great stop for those with a passion for history. The hosts were very sweet. The tour is at your pace and self guided. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to enjoy the school. It's very informative and a great example of preservation.
Apr 2, 2026 · Google ReviewThis small, beautifully-restored building holds great historical significance for all Americans. It is a fascinating place to learn about the American educational system's treatment of African-Americans after abolition and up until the mid-20th century. While there are sad truths regarding inequality to contemplate while visiting Historic Jarvisburg Colored School, visitors will also feel the sense of pride regarding the amazing individuals who are part of the school's history. This is definitely a place to visit, and I am so grateful for the efforts made by Mr. Jarvis and Currituck County that keep this important site alive.

We also learned about the African American Experience of Northeast North Carolina project. As an added bonus we found the graveside of one of my husband's heros thanks to Christian, the guide. Great experience!
