Attucks School

Attucks School is a school building with Art Deco features in Vinita, displaying geometric forms and decorative patterns throughout its design. The restored facility includes classrooms, a kitchen, a conference room, and a gymnasium.

The building was constructed in the early 1900s and served Black students through grades one to twelve until desegregation took place. A WPA gymnasium was added in 1939 to expand the school's facilities.

The building served as the main educational center for Vinita's Black community for many decades, shaping generations of students. It stands today as a testament to African American history in the region.

The building has undergone extensive renovation and is accessible for visitors interested in viewing its architecture and learning about its history. Check with local sources before visiting to confirm current access and any guided tour options.

After extensive restoration, the Cherokee Nation repurposed this historic building in 2024 to house a Boys and Girls Club. This new use blends the site's rich past with contemporary youth community programs.
