In Coventry take Rte 44 between the junction of
Rte 31 and Mansfield Depot Look for North River Road. turn in next to a large
blue colonial . Head up north River to the Y bear Left on Goose lane
to stop. Right now and the school house is not far ahead.
This 1825 little school was a place
where many children of Coventry went for school everyday. Imagine walking
here with friends on a frosty winter morning. Boys carried in wood for the
little stove and all huddled close for lessons in reading , writing and
arithmatic. It was a quick trip when you ventured out to the outhouse in
back of the building one side for boys one for girls. Now cared for by the
Coventry Historical Society the school house has days when they recreate
the school experience of 1825.
To find your box: remember to keep this
activity secret. Wait for a time when others are not around. Go to a
place under shutters where smoke goes up. A stack made by students will
hide your box. Step away to your car or the grass to stamp up. Hide
the box again exactly as you found it. Have Fun - Be Safe
