Original Sunrise School -
In 1889, W.R. Melton donated a one-acre tract of land at this site "for the cause of Religion and Schools." This school located here, which served the Sunrise community, was a one-room schoolhouse. Zion's Hill Baptist Church (now Sunrise Baptist Church) met here from 1900 to 1909. The following year a new school was constructed nearby.
