While the entire campus of The Crossnore School could be called "Miracle Grounds", this particular building, so named, has occupied a colorful place in the history of the Town of Crossnore.  Arguably one of the oldest, if not the oldest, commercial building in Crossnore, historians believe the building was built sometime in the 1920's.  It is constructed of stone from the Linville River, just as many of Crossnore's historic buildings, including Crossnore weavers and Gallery, E.H. Sloop Chapel and the Crossnore Presbyterian Church.

The Crossnore School acquired "Miracle Grounds" in February, 2006. Until that time it belonged to Phillip and Chantae Johnson and Mark and Gina Johnson Aldridge, and it had been in the Johnson family for as long as anyone can remember.  Over the years, Crossnore residents have seen the building assume an array of identities.  Crossnore Mayor Tudor Vance remembers it as a service station; longtime Crossnore resident Rachel Deal recalls it being a nickelodeon rental business.  Another Crossnore native, Iris Aldridge Brant, remembers the building as a shoe store in the early days.  Anyone who has spent much time in Crossnore in recent years will know the building as a candy store, a barber shop, a laundromat, and most recently, the "muscle farm".
  
The Crossnore School thanks the Johnson family for their longtime support.  In its newest role as a vocational classroom, the builing that houses "Miracle Grounds" will undoubtedly foster miracles in the lives of the children of the Crossnore School.
