Encouraged by Lower Township Mayor Michael Beck, the Friends
of the Fishing Creek School was established as a non-profit membership organization dedicated to restoring the historic schoolhouse and developing it as a community center for the benefit of Lower Township and the surrounding community. As the only remaining one room schoolhouse in Lower Township, NJ, the Fishing Creek School is on the National and
State Historic Registers.
Our mission is the "restoration and preservation
of the historic Fishing Creek School, in keeping with our heritage, for various educational, recreational,
and cultural programs, all for the benefit of Lower
Township and the surrounding community."
