Somewhere in between high octane traditional bluegrass, and hand clapping modern folk music, the Gold Top County Ramblers have carved out their own mountain sound, based on roots music, rock and blues, and classic songwriters of the past.

They blend musical styles and genres together to bring a bluegrass-esque, string rock type of sound to the stage!

Whether it be back porches and parking lots, weddings and barbecues, or festival stages, their fun approach to music and good time energy is sure to find a place on your stereo!

Built in 1921, Scrabble School is recognized for its local, state, and national significance. It is one of more the 5,000 schools for African-American children built across the South during the Jim Crow period thanks to Sears Roebuck cofounder Julius Rosenwald. So few "Rosenwald Schools" remain that in 2003 the National Trust for Historic Preservation listed them among America's "most endangered places." Scrabble School is listed on both the Virginia and the national registers of historic landmarks, and is featured on the Virginia's African-American Historic Sites Network. Thanks to a community effort, in 2009 it became one of the first Rosenwald Schools to be restored and one of an even more select group to have a body of work devoted to its history. 

Sharing the stories of people who attended Scrabble School - and placing them withing the large historical context of the Jim Crow era - represents the essence of the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation's mission to preserve the school's history and to share its legacy through public outreach and educational programs.
