Port Republic School No. 7 was built about 1870 and closed in 1932. One teacher usually taught seven grades, and children walked to school from as far as three miles away. In the 59 similar schools throughout Calvert County, enrollment averaged about 30. This building was restored in 1977 by the Calvert Retired Teachers Association.
