Cherry Hill Classroom

Located in the historic Cherry Hill community is a one-room schoolhouse built c.1876. The building served as both a school for African American students and as a church for the Cherry Hill community. The one-room school from first grade through sixth grade became a public school within the Berkeley County school district in the early 20th century. The school closed after the 1954-55 school year, when rural schools in Berkeley County were consolidated. It was rededicated as Cherry Hill Community Center in 2011. Cherry Hill Classroom is a rare example of one-room schools in Berkeley County
