Gridline Schoolhouses

Overlooking the Village of Clearport are two uniquely-positioned schoolhouses, situated at right angles to each other.  In the late 1800s, school districts were set up using a set of gridlines and one school was to be built at each intersection.  It is believed a builder’s error resulted in this double school.

At one point, the schools came to be known as Clearport Community Club.  It was donated to Fairfield County Park District in 1998.  At that time many repairs were made to the buildings.

The property is located on a ridge and there is no driveway, entering and exiting the property can be dangerous.  So at this time is is not yet open to the public.
