Education for Boxborough: 1783 to 2013: March 22
Education for Boxborough: 1783 to 2013: March 22
Since 2014 Boxborough has been part of the Acton Boxborough Region School District for all grades. But what about the 230 years before that? How were Boxborough children educated? When did education become compulsory? How many one room school houses still exist in town? Who built the Blanchard School? How did the Acton Boxborough Regional School District first come about? On Sunday March 22 at 2 PM in the Boxborough Town Hall, John Fallon, a two term past member of both the Boxborough and Acton Boxborough School Committees, will discuss 230 years of Boxborough education. The program is free and all are welcome.

Every May, Freedom's Way, a consortium of 45 cities and towns that were involved in the events of April 1775, sponsors a "Hidden Treasures" event to highlight notable items and places in each municipality. This year Boxborough’s Hidden Treasure is the 1857 School House #2 which will be open to the public on Sunday, May 17 from 2-4 p.m. With kind permission of Nancy (Robinson) Morrison, who co-owns the property with her sister Jane Sawisch, you will be able to visit Schoolhouse #2 at 339 Picnic Street (corner of Hill Road) and tour the 1857 building and exhibits.
