This blog entry is part of an ongoing project called “One Room Schoolhouses in CT”). If you’re interested in the history of one room schoolhouses in CT I suggest you purchase CONNECTICUT SCHOOLHOUSES THROUGH TIME by Melinda K. Elliott. This book was has been a very helpful resource for me as I did my research. At time of writing this book was available on AMAZON.
Circa 1790 this one room schoolhouse is the oldest of what was once seven schoolhouses in Monroe CT. In the early to mid sixties it served as a sunday school for a local church and, in in 1966, was turned over to the Monroe Historical Society. It was moved to its’ present locatio0n in 1969 and updated. It currently serves as a living museum for young students.
