In 1903, the Eagles family built a school
near Fountain in Pitt County, NC. The
Eagles School is a typical design of the
one-room frame school house. Inside
this structure, a visitor finds displays of
old schoolbooks, the Works Progress
Administrative school projects,
blackboards, an old piano, handmade
desks, and the typical potbellied stove.
The school contains two original desks,
but master carpenters reconstructed
others to show different sizes for
different ages. A teacher at this school
could teach students from six to sixteen.
The Eagles School and others replaced the old log schoolhouses and smaller
wood buildings that existed around 1900. These sites became the vital centers
of rural communities for public meetings, political speeches, and voting stations.
Roger Kammerer, local artist and historian, painted Pitt County historical murals
inside the school.
The Village will recognize sponsors with appropriate, permanent, exterior signage
