Hosanna School

Built in 1867 and restored in 1994, this is Harford County's First Public School for African Americans. |
| Hosanna School | Hosanna School was the first of three public schools built by the Freedman's Bureau in 1867. The property upon which the school stands was purchased by a free black man named Cupid Paca for a place of worship. |
| 2424 Castleton Road | After Cupid Paca's death, his heirs who began to spell their name "Peaker", took an interest in education hoping this was the avenue to full citizenship for African Americans. |
| Darlington, MD 21034 | When the school was built it became a multi-purpose building used as a church, school, lodge hall and a community meeting place. |
| Saturday - Open every 3rd Saturday, May through September. | In 1907, the school building was condemned for use as a school house, however, it remained in use as a school until 1946. |
