The Sundays at the Schoolhouse program is free to the public and engages visitors of all ages through interactive tours of the Schoolhouse and hands-on learning experiences with docents and historical craft makers from the Colonial era. On August 26, the program will feature an antique fire engine owned by Gavin Donnelly, antique toys, and quill writing and other activities with Cindi Emmert. An ice cream truck will be on the premises for frozen treats. Sundays at the Schoolhouse is generously sponsored by Fairfield County Bank.
