The Orange Street School Restoration and Historical Association is a non-profit organization located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The association was formed in 1994, with the aim of preserving the historic Orange Street School building, which was once a segregated school for African American children in the 1920s.

The Orange Street School was built in 1923 and remained in operation until 1971 when the school district was desegregated. The school then became a community center for the surrounding neighborhood until it was abandoned in the 1990s.

The restoration project began in 1994 with a group of concerned citizens working to preserve the building and its history. The association has since raised funds to restore the building to its former glory while also creating a museum to display the history of the school and the African American community in Fayetteville. The museum includes photographs, documents, and artifacts that showcase the school's role in the community.

Today, the Orange Street School Restoration and Historical Association is a vital part of the Fayetteville community, hosting events, educational programs, and tours of the restored school building and museum. The association continues to work towards preserving the history and legacy of the Orange Street School and its impact on the community.
