For the African-American community of Limestone Creek, education was a hard-won priority under segregation. Denied access to nearby public schools in Jupiter, the community opened its own school in 1905. First located in the local AME Church, the Jupiter Colored School moved in 1915 to a building on the Louis Moseley Davis homestead. After the Okeechobee Hurricane destroyed that building in 1928, Davis donated an acre of his homestead for a new school. Funding came from the Julius Rosenwald Foundation, created by the president of Sears, Roebuck & Co in collaboration with Booker T. Washington, along with local residents and Palm Beach County. The county then built a two-room school with a kitchen and hired two teachers for grades 1-8. In 1941, the graduating class raised money for a sidewalk over the drainage ditch at the school entrance, and part of it bearing their autographs survives in the park. Davis also drove older students in a community-built bus to Industrial High School twenty miles away, and the elementary school was renamed in his honor in 1956.
