After the Civil War, Barbour County residents built this one~room school house near Volga, 8 miles SW. As one of the country's first free schools, it was the center of education for hundreds of children, providing instruction for primary through eighth grade, until it closed in 1963. In 1992, the restored school was moved to Alderson~Broaddus College campus to insure its preservation.
