Pleasant Valley District #5 Schoolhouse Museum
The South Windsor Historical Society's Pleasant Valley District #5 Schoolhouse Museum,
771 Ellington Rd., will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 - 4 p.m. during July and August.
Used as a town elementary school from 1862 to 1952, the building has been renovated and expanded
by the Historical Society as a local history museum containing school and town memorabilia. Several
recent acquisitions are on display in the lower level of the building.
Parking and admission are free; donations are welcome.
Among the items for sale at the museum are replicas of the Union District School, old South Windsor
maps, cookbooks of local recipes, and schoolhouse notepaper, with proceeds used for maintenance of
the building. Memorial bricks for a walk are also being sold for $35.
Museum chair Joan Walsh said, "Small antique items of South Windsor significance
are always welcome for display as space permits."
Union District School Farmers' Market
The Society will also begin a weekly farmers' market at its Union District School property at
771 Main St., through Oct. 17. Area farmers and artisans are offering their products
from 10 a.m. to 2p.m., rain or shine.
