“Take a journey back in time”
Take a journey back in time to a rural, early 1900s African American one-room schoolhouse. The Allen Toles' African American One-Room Schoolhouse, located in Chickasha, is a rare, 100-year-old historic school that still retains its original floors and walls. Known as "a room with a vision," this schoolhouse was constructed by Allen Toles, a black farmer that built this schoolhouse on his farm for his children and other African American youth to attend. The Allen Toles' African American One-Room Schoolhouse was constructed in 1910 near Verden. The schoolhouse was re-located to nearby Chickasha in 2004 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The school has been preserved and restored as an important part of early Grady County and Oklahoma African American history. The stories passed down by ancestors of students of this schoolhouse include tales of agricultural work and education during that time period. Admission is free; however, donations are appreciated.
The address is incorrect .. it’s located @ E Eda Sipuel & Genevieve St
The place looked really cool, but it was locked-even though we were there during admission hours.
