 Park Hill School |

The Park Hill School is typical of rural schools in Wayne County at the turn
of the century. This building was erected in 1911 about 1/4 mile east of Selah
Church on land deeded by Nathan Bishop and Sarah Wilson Cox. It was the third
Park Hill School building in that location. This building was moved to Waynesborough Village and restored by the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and is considered their State Museum. The Neuse Odd Fellows Lodge was chartered at Waynesborough in 1845, and is still an active lodge meeting regularly in Goldsboro. The pier that the house sits on contains marble slabs original to the Odd Fellows Orphanage formerly located in Herman Park on Ash Street. |
