The Fargo Training School was an educational facility for educating delinquent African Americans in Fargo, Arkansas. The school was operated from 1949 until it was closed in 1968 as part of a court-mandated integration of the state's juvenile facilities. It was founded as a private endeavour initially known as the Fargo Training School for Delinquent Negro Girls in 1919 by Dr. Floyd Brown, who continued to support the school after it was acquired by the state in 1949.^[2]

The school's surviving campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.^[1] It is one of the state's best-preserved campuses of its type from the segregation era. The campus includes six surviving buildings, including one that now houses the Floyd Brown Museum, an International-style building constructed in 1958.^[2]^[3]^[4]
