Restoration

In 2016, the Charlotte Museum of History agreed to lead a campaign to preserve the historic school building. The Save Siloam School Project met its fundraising goals in November 2022, and the Siloam School was relocated to the museum's eight-acre campus on September 8, 2023. The building will be stabilized, restored, and converted for use as a teaching resource to highlight the experiences of rural African-American families in Mecklenburg County in the early twentieth century. A grand reopening took place June 15, 2024.
