524 Schoolhouse Rd
Sykesville, MD 21784

The Sykesville Historic Colored Schoolhouse is a significant cultural landmark that operated as a one-room schoolhouse from January 1904 to May 1938, serving the educational needs of the local black community during segregation. After its use as a school, the building was transformed into a private residence until a dedicated community effort restored it to reflect its 1916 appearance, making it a site for historical learning and remembrance since 2006.

The Schoolhouse hosts various events throughout the year and offers volunteer opportunities for individuals interested in contributing to its ongoing mission of education and community engagement. It also houses a wealth of historical information about the students and teachers who shaped the legacy of this important institution.
