Carver-Price Legacy Museum

The Carver-Price School in Appomattox was a center of African American culture from 1927 to 1969. The Carver-Price Legacy Museum will preserve and interpret the history of this institution.

Formed in 2003 , the Carver- Price Alumni Association recognizes the fact that it is incredibly important to capture the memories, experiences, and lessons offered by students, teachers, principals, and the families associated with the Carver-Price school during this period.

Constructed using a financial match from the Rosenwald Fund, the Appomattox Training Center opened in 1928, and quickly filled a void in the educational lives of African American youth in Appomattox. In early 1970, the public schools were unified and the (then called) Carver-Price High School's mission of educating African Americans as a separate group came to an end.

The Association invites you to visit the museum and experience this valuable heritage of the people of Appomattox County. Experience the oral histories, photographs, artifacts and much more. We are sure that your visit will be a very rewarding one.
