Text of marker: "NEW LOWELL SCHOOL. The area was settled about 1820 along the falls of Pataula Creek in a community known as Lowell. The falls provided water power for several commercial enterprises including a saw mill, cotton gin and a grist mill. The community was later known as Garfield. Grades one through ten attended school in the schoolhouse which was built circa 1890. Classes were for 10-25 children who performed housekeeping and janitorial duties as well as school work. The last class was held in 1921. The schoolhouse was also used as a center for social functions and as a place of worship. About 1900 the community became known as Gilbert and later as Credille's Mill. ERECTED BY THE HISTORIC CHATTAHOOCHEE COMMISSION AND THE NEW LOWELL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 1980" - External Identifiers:
