The New Hope School is a historic schoolhouse at 3762 Arkansas Highway 284, east of Wynne, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood frame structure with simple Plain-Traditional style, which was built in stages. In 1903 a single-room schoolhouse was built to serve the students of District 25, to which a second classroom was added sometime before 1930, resulting in the building's present appearance. This building was used as a school until 1951, after which it was purchased by a local peach farmer for use in his business. In 2007 the building was donated to the Cross County Historical Society, which has overseen its restoration.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
