Division Street School in New Albany preserves a schoolhouse associated with the education of African American children during segregation.
The building and historical interpretation offer an important way to consider access to learning and Black community life in Floyd County.
The photograph shows the restored school exterior. Confirm current museum or group-opening arrangements with the local preservation organization before expecting to enter. An exterior visit should remain in permitted public areas and keep neighboring access clear. Allow time to read the historical marker and distinguish the preserved building from the broader history of segregated education it represents.
