On Wednesday, November 16 Dennis Picard, Director of the Storrowton Village Museum, will be the guest speaker at the Suffield Historical Meeting. He will address the challenges and benefits of learning in the old one-room schoolhouses as compared to today’s learning experiences.
What was it like to attend classes in one room with students of all ages? Did they really get a good education? Many of these old school houses still exist in Suffield, now homes. You can find them on Boston Neck Road, South Street, Sheldon Street, North Street, Mapleton Avenue boasts two (one moved from the Green), Hill Street, Spruce Street (also two, one moved from Hill Street plus the Rattlesnake Swamp School), Academy Hall on Mountain Road (actually a two-room school), and Copper Hill Road.
Join members at the Senior Center at 7 p.m. and get educated!
