Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Orphan

The Galesville Rosenwald School was an elementary school for African-American children in Galesville, Maryland.

The school opened in 1929 with one room, and expanded to two rooms in 1931. It was a Rosenwald school, whose design and construction was funded privately by the Rosenwald Fund.[1]

It closed in 1956 as schools were racially integrated, and black students were then bussed to other schools. A community group set the building up as a community center.[2]

The building was restored with grant funding and is now the home of the Galesville Community Center, at 916 West Benning Road in Galesville.[3][4]
