Manassas Industrial School
About
This five-acre archaeological site, dedicated in 1995, is located on the original site of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth. The school was founded largely through the efforts of former slave Jennie Dean who, after almost a decade of charismatic fundraising, chartered the school on October 7, 1893. The school was designed as a private residential institution providing both academic and vocational training within a Christian setting. See a new statue of Miss Dean, linger in the surrounding courtyard, and read new interpretive signs at the Memorial.Details
