In partnership with the Town of Avon, The Avon Historical Society, Inc. is happy to announce that renovations of the 200-year-old one-room schoolhouse located at 8 East Main Street (Route 44), have commenced!  Set in Avon's original and historic center, the Avon History Museum will open in 2024.

Schoolhouse No. 3 was initially built in the geographic center of Avon on Country Club Road, where the Avon Free Public Library stands today. For 126 years, from 1823 to 1949, students of West Avon were educated in this schoolhouse.  To commemorate 200 years of the Town of Avon’s oldest-owned building, the Avon Historical Society approached the Town five years ago with a long-range vision of establishing a state-of-the-art museum in the footprint of the schoolhouse.
