Bill > J01047

This resolution commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Wethersfield Stone Schoolhouse, a historic landmark located in Holland Patent, New York, which will be celebrated on June 8, 2025. Built in 1825 using stone from a nearby quarry, the schoolhouse served as District No. 6 school until 1934 when the local school system was centralized. After years of deterioration, local residents formed the Wethersfield Historic Preservation Society in the early 1990s, which purchased the building in 1996 and completed a thorough restoration by 2005. In the same year, the schoolhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its historical significance as one of the oldest stone schoolhouses in New York State. The resolution acknowledges the importance of preserving local historical sites and honors the efforts of those who worked to restore and maintain this significant landmark, ultimately pausing to commemorate its bicentennial and transmitting an official resolution to the Wethersfield Stone Schoolhouse.
