It's hard to imagine that one of Rappahannock’s greatest historic treasures is sitting on a hillside, its windows boarded up and its lawn ridden with weeds three feet high.
This is the current state however of the county’s Scrabble School which has gained notoriety since the passing of alumni Franklin E. Warner, who also was a member of the county School Board.
For 45 years this two-room school house was home to one of four Rosenwald Schools constructed in the county. These structures, which were built in 15 states to educate AfricanAmerican students during an era when learning was still separate and far from equal, are now on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of the nation’s 11 most endangered historic places.
