Old Rock Academy near Bromide recalls Chickasaw education
The Wapanucka Academy once stood as a three story copper rooved school overlooking Delaware Creek near Bromide. Built 1850s with 36000 tribal funds, it educated Chickasaw youth before 1911. Survivors recall wood and stone design, teachers like Jed Newson and Miss Mary Greenleaf, and a rugged colonial era mission effort that left only ruins and a lone gravestone.
