Monroe Historical Society [CT]
The Monroe Historical Society seeks to preserve and share the history of Monroe, Connecticut. The society operates the 1790 East Village-Barn Schoolhouse, which contains hornbooks (primers attached to a panel and covered with a thin sheet of horn), readers, and desks built to period appearance.
The school may be used for classes. The society also offers hands-on activity sessions such as churning butter, book binding, and candle dipping. The website offers instructions on using a drop spindle and recipes for both historical snacks and natural dye solutions.
