The Acworth Rosenwald School, in Doyal Hill Park, was originally located on School Street, and served as Acworth’s only African American school from 1925 to 1948. The school building was slated for demolition by the Cobb County Board of Education in 1948. Dismantled by volunteers, each timber and board was numbered, the nails were removed and straightened, and roofing shingles were stacked and stored. In 1953, the “Community House”, as it was known to residents, was rebuilt on Cherokee Street where it stands today. The Acworth Rosenwald School is available as a rental facility through the City of Acworth’s Parks, Recreation, and Community Resource Department.
