Huguenot Schoolhouse

The Huguenot Schoolhouse is a one-story masonry building built in Greek Revival style with typical features of the 19th century. The classroom was simply furnished and held students of all ages together in one shared space.

The schoolhouse was built in 1863 during a time of educational growth and served the local area for about a century. It closed in 1961 and was then converted into a museum where it remains preserved today.

The building shows how rural American education worked and what role the schoolhouse played in village community life. You can still see today how students once learned together in a single classroom space.

The building is located on South Grange Road near US Route 209 and is open to visitors interested in learning about rural school history. It is helpful to check opening hours in advance, as visiting hours may be limited.

The building is one of only two properties in Deerpark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This rare distinction underscores its importance to local history and status as a significant heritage site.
