experience SHILOH
The Shiloh-Rosenwald School. The Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. The Shiloh Cemetery. Each entity tells a story. Factor in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and a uniquely profound relationship emerges. Collectively, the story mesmerizes. A desire to share the unparalleled Shiloh Community history led to the plans for a restoration project. In April 2006, information concerning the restoration of the Shiloh-Rosenwald was requested from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Alabama Historical Commission.

A diverse team of volunteers was organized that included personnel from Auburn and Tuskegee Universities, alumni of the Shiloh-Rosenwald School, local and state politicians, members of the church congregation, and descendants of the Tuskegee Syphilis participants. In July 2006, the team of volunteers met at the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church to lay plans for the monumental tasks involved in the restoration project. In September 2006, the Alabama Historical Commission designated the three sites as an Alabama Historical Site.
