Cape Charles Christian School is a small non-denominational Christian school with multi-age classrooms, located in the close-knit welcoming town of Cape Charles.

The Cape Charles Historical Society is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit. The Cape Charles Museum and Welcome Center opened in 1996 and is dedicated to preserving and presenting to the public the history of Cape Charles and surrounding areas.   It is the hope of the Cape Charles Historical Society that inspiration from the richness of its past will help guide Cape Charles' renewal and growth.  Our Mission is to build awareness and pride in the cultural, technical and historical diversity of the Lower Eastern Shore, particularly Cape Charles; to create a community center for the presentation of educational programs of interest and importance to the community, energizing residents to build a stronger future; to preserve local and regional historic structures, artifacts, and oral history for tomorrow's citizens; and to support a regional historic archive and research office for collecting, organizing, documenting and analyzing historic materials

The Historic Cape Charles Elementary School was built in 1929 as part of the innovative collaboration between Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald that built close to 5,000 schools to educate African American children in the South.

Former students and faculty joined with community leaders in a crucial mission: safeguarding the building's legacy - once the heart of its community. The Cape Charles Rosenwald School Restoration Initiative, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization was formed in 2012 and raised enough money to purchase the property in 2019.  Our goal?  Creating a modern-day community center that will inspire, educate, and connect all cultures in Cape Charles.

Rosenwald Schools have been designated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as among the nation's most endangered historic sites. The Cape Charles school remains on Preservation Virginia's list of the state's Most Endangered Historical Places.  That's why after buying the property, the CCRSRI took steps to have the school placed on the U.S. Department of Interior's National Register of Historic Places.

Then, alliance members agreed upon a guiding principal in the school's restoration: retrieving and recapturing the original school design for adaptive re-use.

Next, they devised a vision to create a vibrant and self-sustaining community center, one that will showcase the building's rich history and provide opportunities for engagement, connection, and education.

The restored landmark will again be home to educational programs and community gatherings.  As a 21st century community center, it will support Cape Charles' revitalization and the Eastern Shore in vital ways:  through workforce training in cooperation with Eastern Shore Community College, as a business incubator, technology hub, and performance venue with exhibition space, a community kitchen, walking trails, and other valuable ammenities.  

We are building for our community!
