Bowman Valley School Project

                              PRESERVING BOWMAN’S VALLEY SCHOOL

 

 

Help Breathe New Life In to This Historic Bullitt County, KY Landmark

 

The Bowman’s Valley School, founded in 1916, is the last remaining intact African-American school house in the area. This all wood structure is an important part of Bullitt County’s history and needs immediate repairs to survive another winter.

Be a part of history as the school house is relocated and restored for a new educational mission in the 21st century.

 

Campaign Details:

 

•        Move Bowman Valley School  from Cooper Run Road three miles north to where the old Woodsdale School sits along Hwy 44 in Shepherdsville, KY

•        Install new roof, doors and windows

•        Repair and renovate Interior structure

•        Paint exterior and interior walls

•        Create an interactive educational program detailing the history of Bowman Valley School and African American education in Bullitt County, KY

•        Launch a vocational training program partnering with the Woodsdale School facility

•        Establish a maintenance fund for the future

 

 

The all-volunteer team’s goal is to raise $100,000 to complete the entire project.

                             100% of all funds raised go the school
