In recent years, many changes have taken place at the Historic Newborn schoolhouse.  Scroll down to view the progress of the renovations that have been tackled by a team of dedicated volunteers with donations from "Friends of the Schoolhouse", as well as the support of the Town of Newborn .  We are so thankful to the town for recognizing the importance of preserving our history and committing SPLOST funds to this project.
