Okolona College, established in 1902 by Wallace A. Battle in Okolona, Mississippi, served as an educational institution for African Americans until its closure in 1965, following the civil rights movement's integration of public schools. Located on a former Civil War battleground, the college was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The campus, now part of the Okolona College Historic District, includes four surviving buildings: Abbott Hall, McDougall Hall, the Vocational Agriculture Building, and T. D. Bratton Memorial Dormitory, along with remnants like a gazebo and dormitory ruins. Abbott Hall, constructed around 1929-1930, housed administrative offices and classrooms, while McDougall Hall from 1931 featured a chapel and various departmental offices. Bratton Hall, built in the 1950s, served as a women's dormitory with additional facilities, and the Vocational Agriculture Building replaced earlier structures lost to fire. These structures, marked by brick piers and a neon sign, stand as testaments to the college's historical significance in African American education.
