Buckingham County – One of the 53 sites along the Civil Rights in Education Heritage Trail®. Union Grove School is representative of the many one-room schools for African-American students in Buckingham County and throughout the area. The African-American members of the community built Union Grove around 1925, and like most schools, it was named after a local church. An African-American farmer and store owner donated the land, and the parents of students cut and milled the lumber.
