The Cherry Hill School (01-01)

Historical narrative

The Cherry Hill School was a one-room schoolhouse that once stood at the intersection of Enterprise and Lottsford Roads in what was to become Mitchellville. The school opened in 1874, serving children in the local area until it closed in 1919. Although the school is gone, the bell that once rung from the belfry towering above the school has been restored and has been displayed in a succession of grade schools in the area.
