This is the Pullen Corner Schoolhouse. It is very old and historic. The Pullen\u2019s Corner School is one of Lincoln\u2019s earliest schoolhouses, operating as a school until 1922. Originally located at the corner of Whipple and Angell Road in the village of Lime Rock, it was re-located to its present home at Chase Farm Park in 2015. It is a small, one-story, gable-roofed, one-room schoolhouse, which reflects the growth and variety in public education in Lincoln. Unlike the larger schools located in the mill villages, the Pullen\u2019s Corner School served a rural community in western Lincoln. Eight different grade levels were taught at this school, all in one large room, for the children of local farmers. The school became affectionately known as \u201cThe Hot Potato School\u201d, nicknamed by a visiting superintendent who was amused by the fact that the teacher, Estelle Collier, baked potatoes for the children\u2019s lunch using the pot-bellied stove in the school. Pullen\u2019s Corner School, and the other one-room schoolhouses in the area, closed when the new Lincoln Community School opened on Breakneck Hill Road in the 1920s. The school was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 because of its historic significance. It was privately-owned until gifted to the town of Lincoln in 1990.Free picture Pullen Corner Schoolhouse integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
