Lucy F. Simms Continuing Education Center
The Lucy F. Simms Continuing Education Center hosts the permanent exhibition that celebrates the life of pioneering African-American educator, Lucy F. Simms, and the school named in her honor. The Lucy F. Simms School was built soon after her death and served African-American students from all over Rockingham County and beyond, between 1938 – 1965. The center spans 150 years of history to tell the history of the school and its place at the heart of local community life.
