Sherwin-Williams donates to Woodstock Historical Society

WOODSTOCK — As part of an ongoing program for the restoration and rehabilitation of “historically significant struc- tures” the Sherwin-Williams Corporation has donated paint Courtesy photo and supplies to the Woodstock Historical Society. The materials will be used to paint and refurbish the Red-White School located at the junctions of Routes 198 and 197 in Woodstock. Nearly $700 in materials were donated by Sherwin-Williams as part of their community service program. “Sherwin-Williams is indeed a national leader in helping non-profit organizations with the constant and sometimes overwhelming demands for monies to do necessary projects and we are greatly in debt to them for their willingness to help us with this worthwhile project” commented Anthony Reed, chairman of the WHS Building and Grounds Committee. The Historical Society’s Top-of-the-Hill Gang, dedicated volunteers who maintain the organization’s buildings and grounds, has begun scraping and repair- ing the schoolhouse in preparation for painting. The Red-White School (District 12) is the last remaining one-room schoolhouse on its original site in Woodstock that has not been converted to a residence or other non-educational use. Built around 1880 it was in use until June, 1949 when the consolidated school (the old Woodstock Elementary School) was built and the Red-White and its sixteen sister schools were discontin- ued. The building was donated to the Historical Society by The Mutual Benefit Society in 1969. It remains just about as it was in 1949 (minus the outhouse) and still retains the original teacher’s desk, blackboards, and the students’ desks. Some of the students who attended it before the consolidation 65 years ago are still alive making it truly part of Woodstock’s living history. For more information about Woodstock’s sixteen district schools visit the Woodstock Historical Society. The research center and Noren Gallery are open Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. March through December and by appointment. Contact 860-928-1035 and collection- [email protected].

We want to play the best teams on their best days. We don’t want soft football. We want great competitive football. We know Killingly’s going to bring that. We’re thrilled that we’ve got another game to go play football,” Asermelly said. “We’re going to be very sad after Thanksgiving because it’s going to be over.” Before it ended Quinebaug Valley senior lineman Logan Putnam was thankful for the chance to play his biggest rival in his final high school game.
