Plymouth Center School stood on this site from 1900 to 1952. It was built for $6,330 and did not include indoor plumbing, with an outhouse that had separate sections for boys, girls, and teachers. Located next to the big sycamore in front of the Rev. Andrew Storrs house, the school was praised in the 1901 Town Report as a source of much satisfaction to local residents. It taught grades 1 through 8, with two grades per classroom. At recess, children played marbles, hopscotch, jump rope, dodgeball, and mumbleypeg, in which jackknives were flipped into the ground. In winter, the Green was flooded by the Fire Department for ice skating at lunchtime. School was not cancelled because of snow; chains were put on the buses and they made their appointed rounds. Children were often discouraged from writing left-handed, and discipline was strict. Former students felt they received a good education and remembered their days there fondly.
