SECOND STREET SCHOOL 1867
Take the Second Street School Virtual Tour
Submitted by CSAA Member Ralph Buglass​
Coordinator of the 2019 CSAA Annual Country School Conference, Frederick, MD

Without a doubt, this post will provide you with a totally unique experience provided by the Waterford Foundation, Inc. of Loudon County, Virginia! The Second Street School, built for African-American children in the 19th century, was on the CSAA tour during the 2019 conference. A virtual tour of the schoolhouse is now available--a great opportunity for those who were unable to experience it on our tour as well as those who may want to revisit it!

A 10-minute video explaining the school's importance is also part of the tour. Click on the link below for the tour, then click on the camera icon to see the video. Enjoy!

Then be sure to visit the Waterford Foundation website, another fascinating site filled with history and programming in Waterford, Virginia, the town designated as a National Historic Landmark.

The CSAA sends our congratulations and thanks to the foundation for their excellent promotional presentation of a preserved country school. We certainly had a memorable visit!


​Waterford is definitely  a destination, so you will want to check out the Waterford Fair, October 6-8, 2023.

    Our challenge is not to educate the children we used to have or want to have, but to educate the children who come to the schoolhouse door.
