Meadow Valley Historical Site

Early residents of what was then an isolated valley created their own cultural center. On land deeded by Richard Jacks, through subscription and donated labor, they constructed the first public school in the area. Shortly afterward, again through community efforts, they built the Philomathean Hall across the way to house a library and serve as the scene of debates, theatricals, concerts, and other forms of creative expression. Theirs was indeed a splendid isolation.
