Open House of One Room Schoolhouses and Academies
The Monadnock Historical Societies Forum, or Roundtable Forum, is hosting an open house of many of the remaining one room schoolhouses and academies in the region. The public is invited to visit each site to learn what it was like to attend school during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
There are 6 sites available to visit: Red School House and Melville Academy in Jaffrey Center, Nelson Village Schoolhouse in Nelson, District No. 3 Schoolhouse in Sullivan, Academy Building in Walpole, and Corner School House in Westmoreland. Please stop by at these locations on Sunday, June 13th from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
This open house is part of a series of programs associated with the Society’s exhibit Nursery of Liberty: School and Education in the Monadnock Region. The exhibit, a collaborative effort by the Roundtable Forum, explores the evolution of schooling with artifacts, photographs, and archival material from each of the participating organizations.
For further information please contact Tom Haynes at the Society 603-352-1895.
