Text of marker: "GREEN GROVE SCHOOLHOUSE. The old schoolhouse was moved to the Green Grove community from the nearby community of Wesley Chapel and rebuilt at this site c. 1937. During the next 21 years the school produced many professionals which included a large number of teachers. The Stewart County Board of Education closed the school in 1958 and sold it to the African American trustees in the community. Green Grove was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Today the complex continues to serve the religious, educational and cultural needs of families and friends whose lives have been shaped by the historic church and schoolhouse. ERECTED BY THE HISTORIC CHATTAHOOCHEE COMMISSION AND THE FRIENDS OF THE GREEN GROVE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH, SCHOOL AND CEMETERY COMPLEX 2000" - External Identifiers:
