Millard Cooper Park

The Sykesville Historic Colored Schoolhouse, a one-room schoolhouse that operated from 1904 to 1938, served the local black community during the era of segregation. After its closure, the building was transformed into a private home until 1981, when it was restored to reflect its 1916 appearance through dedicated community efforts.

Since opening to the public in 2006, the schoolhouse has become a vital educational site, offering tours and preserving the history of its students and teachers. The venue also provides volunteer opportunities for individuals seeking to contribute to its mission of historical education and community engagement.
