The Chestnut Grove School is located at 610 Epps Bridge Road (Tax Parcel No. 7-4----B-001C).
 
 

Occupying less than an acre, the one-room schoolhouse is sheathed in weatherboard and covered by a hipped roof. The lack of interior plumbing and lighting and the use of a pot-bellied stove for heat reflect the rude educational conditions for rural blacks in nineteenth century Georgia. In the absence of a chalkboard, the tongue-and-groove pine board interior walls were painted black.

The building was constructed in 1896 to serve a rural black community, which provided the land, labor, and many of the materials to build the schoolhouse. Owned by a neighboring church, the Chestnut Grove School was also utilized by the community as a social and religious facility.

The Chestnut Grove School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (June 28, 1984).
