Alabama, Macon County, Harris Barrett School (158)

            The photograph was taken in 1987. Since that time the two room schoolhouse has been restored and houses a museum. 

The Information that follows is from its website  "Sweet Home Alabama" under "Alabama Travel."   According to the web page the Harris Barrett School was --  "built in 1903 by students of the Tuskegee Normal School, later named Tuskegee Institute and now Tuskegee University. The students made the bricks by hand and built the two room school under the directions of Dr. Booker T. Washington.  Located on three acres of land and restored to its originality, today it is a developing historic museum that tells the story of early school life and living in rural Alabama. The school houses the exposition of local African Americans education and achievements from the slave ships to the space ships, highlighting those of Tuskegee Univertity who help develop the NASA project of growing food in space."
