CT's Historic Schoolhouses: One Room, Many Stories
Step back in time and learn about the unique schools - most with just one room -- that popped up across 18th- and 19th-century Connecticut. By the 1850s, about 1,600 small schoolhouses dotted the state, located so that no child would have to walk more than two miles to attend class. In this program, author Melinda Elliott will discuss highlights from her book, "Connecticut Schoolhouses Through Time." She'll talk about the interesting features of the statecs earliest public schools, show photos of classic buildings, and offer updates on efforts to preserve these important pieces of Connecticut history. No admission fee for Historical Society members. Guest are asked to donate $5 that will be passed on to local students. Category: Attractions | Talks and Lectures
