About: The Iron Hill Museum is currently housed in what was originally a one-room schoolhouse. Iron Hill School 112c was one of 91 built by P.S. duPont in the 1920s for African Americans in Delaware. For over 40 years the Delaware Academy of Science has owned and operated this schoolhouse as a natural history museum.
The Iron Hill Museum is dedicated to the study of human and natural history of the Iron Hill Area. The Museum is currently engaged in a project to restore the Iron Hill School #112C and document the experiences of African American students who attended the school between 1923 and 1965.
