The vision for Finklea
Organized through the Finklea High/Loris Training Schools Alumni Association, former students purchased the property in 2004 to preserve it for future generations. Today, our goal is to restore and develop Finklea into a modern cultural destination where history, education, service, and heritage tourism meet.
Preserving history, inspiring futures
Through our Heritage Tourism Development Plan, visitors and future generations learn about equalization-era education and the lasting impact of Finklea High and Loris Training Schools.
