Published October 05, 2008 11:28 pm - Rural School 51 stabilized TAHLEQUAH — A preservation campaign is under way to save a public schoolhouse that is nearly a century old.
The Cherokee Nation’s cultural tourism department’s effort to stabilize Rural School 51, a Cherokee Nation historical landmark located in Park Hill, was complete this week. The first phase, intended primarily to stabilize the building, included boarding and sealing the building’s windows, placing a weatherproof membrane over the roof’s remnants and remediating lead, asbestos and other hazardous materials in the facility. The project cost was more than $20,000. Rural School 51 was a public school built in 1913. The school is adjacent to the Ross Cemetery, which is the burial site of many removal-era leaders and Trail of Tears survivors. The cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places.
