Rock Building Committee Contact Information

PAGE UPDATED DEC 2007

Now that Murray County's old rock building has been placed on The National Register of Historic Places, fundraising has begun for its renovation. The building has been in a state of neglect for years. Of immediate concern are necessary structural repairs. Leaks in the roof have already been repaired to stop further damage, and a new roof is underway. Various local organizations have pledged support for the renovation project. Among these are the Murray County High School Alumni Association, Whitfield-Murray Historical Society and various graduating classes of Murray County High School. Donations should be mailed directly to the Murray County Board of Education (contact information, below). The Rock Building Committee was formed for the purpose of overseeing fundraising efforts. Contact information is below. Also see: Rock Building Update.
