    The Historic Schoolhouse

    This Greek Revival one-room schoolhouse, called Hibbard's Corners, was built about 1840 and functioned as a public school until 1936. It boasts of sending the first US Rhodes scholar, Warren Ellis Schutt, who completed 8th grade in the school about 1889.  Mabel DeMotte Beggs donated the schoolhouse to the Foundation of Light in 1974. Many members remember with fondness the years we met at the schoolhouse. Currently it houses the Stone Circle School and is used for workshops on weekends and when the school is not in session. It seats up to 25
