Iron Hill School No. 112C, now the Iron Hill Museum, is a historic one-room schoolhouse near Newark in New Castle County, Delaware. Built in 1923 and funded by Pierre S. du Pont, it was part of an initiative to reform and rebuild African-American schools in Delaware between 1919 and 1928. The school served the community until segregation ended in 1965. Recognized for its historical significance, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Today, the Iron Hill Museum features exhibits on local iron ore mining, Lenni Lenape history and culture, Delaware's rocks and minerals, regional wildlife, and fossils found in the state. This is a great place to stop by when exploring the Iron Hill area and learn about local history.
