In recent years, many changes have taken place at the Historic Newborn schoolhouse. Below are a few 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.
