Tusculum Institute at Sweet Briar College: More Background Information About Dr. Barber's Upcoming Talk This Friday at Lynchburg Museum

https://www.facebook.com/TusculumInstitute

Today we start a Back to School series. Dovetailing with State Archaeologist Mike Barber's talk on the Monacan Tribe (see post below: 3 p.m. Friday, August 21s...t, at the Lynchburg Museum), we feature the Bear Mountain School and Church. The school building was built in 1868, and is a single-story, one-room, horizontal log building. A frame addition was built in 1908. The "New School," dating to the 1930s, is a plain frame building sheathed in weatherboard. Associated with the school is St. Paul's Episcopal Church, a rectangular wood frame building with Gothic style detailing. It was built in 1930, after the original mission church was destroyed by fire. A mission worker's house is also extant and is a small "L"-plan wood frame dwelling. The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

The nomination was authored by Martin C. Perdue, Architectural Historian: http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/…/005-0230_Bear_Mountain_Indian…
