Built in 1921, this three-teacher type school is located in Beaufort County, North Carolina. It was in use until 1956 and now serves as a community center. It was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

The Canetuck School was built in Pender County, North Carolina near Currie. The two-teacher type school was built in 1922 in an historic Black community known as Canetuck. It was one of fifteen Rosenwald schools built in Pender County. The school stayed open until 1958.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.

This is the stately plot of the Kenan family. Outside of the mausoleum, there are family members buried in the large circular plot. It is located in the Oakdale Cemetery. The winged cherub at the top of the mausoleum represents innocence.
The Gothic Revival Church was completed in 1881. Built by S. B. Weston, this church was funded by philanthropist by Samuel Williston for the American Missionary Association’s efforts. The organization sent school teachers to teach Black students to become teachers. At one point, there was a school next to the church.
