History

Springfield Schoolhouse

Springfield Schoolhouse was built around 1920 to serve the African American students in the Short Pump Community until the early 1950s. It was one of the many elementary schools that Virginia Randolph supervised. In 2011, the county saved the building from demolition and moved it to its current home in Pouncey Tract Park.

The building now offers useable space for the community to reserve for smaller meetings or programs with up to 12 people. The renovated interior includes details of the early 20th century schoolhouse and interior exhibit panels that share the history of the school and community.
