Built in 1920 with funding from philanthropist Pierre S. du Pont, this one-room schoolhouse served Hockessin's Black students, including seven-year-old Shirley Bulah, who walked two miles to school each day while a bus carrying white children to a newer school passed her by. When the state refused to extend bus service to Black students, her mother Sarah Bulah sued with attorney Louis L. Redding in the case Bulah v. Gebhart, which was combined with the Claymont case and ultimately folded into Brown v. Board of Education. The school closed in 1959 and has since been restored as a museum and community education center.
