Our Current
Projects & Programs

The African American Heritage Society of Maury County started a historical markers program because it is the most effective means of reminding the residents, and introducing newcomers to Maury County history. The first marker, College Hill School, was dedicated during the 2014 College Hill/Carver-Smith Reunion. The College Hill School, established in 1881, was the first public school for African Americans in Columbia.
