Until the 1920s, this little one-room schoolhouse served students of Dorchester Village. It was located adjacent to the Dorchester Presbyterian Church and was all but lost when the Selectmen of the Midway Church and Society saved and relocated it to the “new” Dorchester School nearby.
Note: I originally read that this was built in 1852. I’m not confident using that date until I can investigate the source further.
My 2nd great grandmother, Sallie Kottman Stark, attended this school in 1852 and it was run by William Wilson Winn per estate papers indicating this is to whom her tuition was paid.
