Nova Scotia One Room Schoolhouse
Watertown, CT
C. 1853-1929
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.
Let me start by saying that this is a beautiful one room schoolhouse that has been kept in pristine condition by the town and historical society with the help of local volunteer organizations. It has been re-constructed in a beautiful setting in the center of town on town property. Its original location was Fern Hill Rd. and Rt. 6.
It took in its last class of students in 1929. In 1993 it became an historical museum under the care and maintenance of the Watertown Historical Society.
