Eureka Schoolhouse Details
Built in 1785 on the banks of the Black River, this structure is the oldest surviving school in Vermont. It was used as a schoolhouse for the children of four families from the first Springfield village settlement. The schoolhouse closed in 1900 and sat abandoned for decades until it was restored in the late 1960s. Although it is a reconstruction of the original building (the structure had to be disassembled and then moved to a new location), it is still an accurate depiction of one of Vermonts most historical sites.
