# Banneker School Foundation Historic Site Parkville - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `bannekerschoolparkvillemo.org` ## Description Banneker School Foundation and Historic Site is a Missouri nonprofit dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history of the Banneker School in Parkville. Construction of the original school began in 1885, and it was named for Benjamin Banneker, the African American scholar known for his self-taught work in astronomy and his advocacy for freedom. The school is believed to have ceased operating around 1905, after plans were made for a larger educational facility. The Foundation is leading restoration efforts to protect the historic building and share its story with future generations. Its work is guided by a Comprehensive Site Plan, and community members can support the project through donations, membership, and the purchase of commemorative bricks. The organization also shares local history through news, events, and educational resources, and promotes community gatherings such as Parkville’s Juneteenth Jazz and Folk Festival. Visitors can find the historic site at 31 West 8th Street in Parkville, Missouri. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🎗 Community and Society - 🎗 Philanthropy _(under Community and Society)_ - 🧪 Libraries and Museums _(under Science and Education)_ - 🧪 History _(under Science and Education)_ ## Links - [facebook](https://facebook.com/BannekerSchoolParkvilleMO) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idqgeRXDGQ/w/180/h/180/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1792805526518) - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idqgeRXDGQ/w/384/h/384/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1792805526716) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Edward | #a3aeaf | accent | | Cod Gray | #1a1a1a | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | ## Fonts - -apple-system — asset _(system)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
