Overview
One of the longest operating one-room schools in the county, and even the state, the Foltz School served students from about 1880-1963. The school is now open for the first time in 60 years, thanks to the amazing work of dedicated volunteers. Discover what it was like to go to a one room school, and this week only, check out Fun and Games from the school's history - play with vintage and reproduction toys and games, and listen to alumni accounts of recess and more. Knowledgeable docents will orient visitors to the school's history and restoration and answer questions.
Some parking is available at the school, which is accessed via a driveway near the intersection of Weeks Road and Rt 8 (look for the brown and yellow sign along Weeks Road). Adventurous visitors may choose to walk the North Country Trail to the west (right) from The Old Stone House parking lot and side trail, or park at the Center and use the Woodwhisper and North Country trails (note: visitors parking at the Center must cross Rt 8 on foot - not recommended for young children).
