Saving a School house
The North School Society was founded in 1967 to save the School House. Membership is open to the public and the annual dues are used to maintain the building and grounds. Every month (excluding January, July and August), the Society hosts a potluck dinner gathering at the School House. You do not need to be a member to join us at the potluck dinners – all are welcome to attend. Potluck dinners are free to attend, but we do request that you bring a dish to share that is in line with the theme of the event. Please check the events calendar for more information.
Our Mission
The mission of the Society is to preserve and protect the Hadlyme North School building, to maintain a record of its history as a one-room schoolhouse and to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the role these initial schools played in rural communities.

“The Society’s sense of community and tradition is really special– it reaches back into another time. The bridge there on Bone Mill Road exists because of them. They stopped construction and pushed for a wooden bridge.””
