The 147 year old school should be open in September for special events, tours, school field trips and demonstrations.

Some interesting facts about the school:
*Being restored by Williamston Township's Historic Committee and a group of volunteers.
*The 40-by-40-foot one room school house was built in 1863.
*It was named Africa School because most of its constituents were abolitionists.
*It was later renamed Branch School in honor of local farmer N.C. Branch.
*Abandoned in 1990.
