Glynn Academy, 1840

This is the oldest wooden schoolhouse in Georgia. Glynn Academy, which was chartered in 1788 is one of the oldest public high schools in Georgia (along with Richmond Academy in Augusta, which received its charter in 1783) and the fifth oldest in the nation. This structure, which dates to 1840,  was moved to Sterling in 1915, where it was used as a school for African-Americans until desegregation. It was returned to this location in 2008 and is now used as an interpretive museum.
