From the East Ridge Schoolhouse to Today

Join Luke Muzzy and the Moosehead Historical Society for a look back at the schools that shaped generations of Greenville children — from the early East Ridge schoolhouse and the little red village school, to the Junction school, Roosevelt High School, the 1935 Consolidated School, and the later additions many residents still remember today.

Using historic photographs, maps, school records, and local memories, this program will trace how Greenville’s schools grew along with the town. We’ll talk about one-room schoolhouses, crowded classrooms, school fires, new buildings, familiar teachers, and the major gift from Louis Oakes that gave Greenville one of the finest school buildings in Maine during the Great Depression.

Audience members are encouraged to bring their own school memories to share. Did you attend school in Greenville? Do you remember a teacher, principal, classroom, bus ride, school play, basketball game, or graduation? We’d love to hear what you remember.

The program is free and open to the public.
