Hurlbutt Street School

Hurlbutt Street School in Wilton, Connecticut, is a one-room schoolhouse built in 1834 by local townspeople at no cost to the town on a site used for schooling since at least 1792. It served as a district school until 1935, when Wilton consolidated its schools. Considered the town’s best-preserved 19th-century district school building, it retains the form of a rural schoolhouse, with a wood-frame structure, gable roof, belfry, and rear addition, while its interior evokes an early 20th-century classroom. A local ladies’ auxiliary later helped preserve the building and convert it into a museum, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
