The Hiram Rosenwald School Museum in Hiram, Georgia is an important part of the history of education in the state. The museum is housed in the first Rosenwald School, built in 1915. It has been restored to its original condition and serves as a reminder of the power of education to create change.

The Rosenwald Fund, set up by Julius Rosenwald, was a philanthropic organization that provided grants for the construction of schools for African American students. The Hiram Rosenwald School was one of these schools and was built on land donated by the Hiram Masonic Lodge. The school served the African American community from 1915 to 1949, when it was closed by the state due to integration.

The school was restored in 2014 and is now a museum dedicated to preserving the history of the school and its students. The museum contains artifacts from the school’s history, including photographs, documents, and personal items donated by former students. It also features exhibits about the history of education in Georgia and the role of African Americans in shaping education in the state.
