Goose Creek Meeting House Complex

The Goose Creek Meeting began the area’s first school for black children, just after the Civil War.

The Goose Creek Meeting House Complex is made up of three structures: the original stone meeting house, built in 1765; the brick meeting house, built in 1817 to replace the older, smaller building and still in use today; and the Oak Dale School, built in 1815, the first public school in the county. The Goose Creek Meeting also established the first school in the area for the education of black children, just after the Civil War.
