Brown Heritage Corporation seeks to preserve the life-affirming African-American cultural experiences of the early 1900s; namely, the Fairview Colored School located in Cave Spring, GA. The campus was erected under the Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington philanthropic building campaign to provide an education for African-Americans. The only remaining structure, the first grade building, is now in imminent danger of collapsing. Tentative preservation plans include a re-created four-acre campus with museum, campsite, organic garden, and multi-purpose buildings to benefit the entire community. Learn more >> Awards We are proud to announce that the Fairview School has been named one of the “Places in Peril” by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation for 2011. Only 10 sites are selected from across the State each year. The announcement was made in Atlanta in October 2011. This award affords us more recognition and visibility across the State in securing financial, professional, and renovation assistance. The program identifies and preserves historic sites threatened by demolition, neglect, lack of maintenance, inappropriate development or insensitive public policy. We still have "a long distance to run" to reach our goals. We hope that we can count on your continued support. As plans mature, we will keep you apprised of how you might help.
