The Willow Hill School was started in 1874 by formerly enslaved people and was in existence for 125 years, the longest for any school in Bulloch County, Georgia, before it officially closed in 1999. The vision to transform the historic 1954 Willow Hill school building into a museum and community resource was fully realized in 2011 with the opening of the Willow Hill Heritage and Renaissance Center, which now serves as both a museum and a community hub. The mission of the Willow Hill Heritage and Renaissance Center is to protect and preserve the history of the Willow Hill School by preserving property and individual histories related to the founding and operation of the school and by promoting an understanding of the school's historical, social, and educational impact on the community, county, state of Georgia, and the nation. The Center is a member of the Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network (GAAHPN) and is affiliated with the Association of African American Museums (AAAM) as a member institution. The Willow Hill Heritage & Renaissance Center Museum serves as an active hub for community engagement and archival preservation, including the African American Funeral Programs Database, a collaborative project with Georgia Southern University that features materials collected over more than 35 years, and the Willow Hill Digital Archive Project, which centers on oral history interviews with former students and educators of the Willow Hill School. Museum tours are available by appointment only.
