After incorporation as a Town in 1845, fourteen school districts were established in South Windsor. Some of these school districts were operated jointly with other towns. District School No. 5, built in 1862, is located on Ellington Road near Pleasant Valley Road, and still stands in fine repair. The schoolhouse is maintained by the South Windsor Historical Society.
Please note that despite possible inaccuracies, we will include the description of each quilt square as published in the 1995 revised and corrected second edition booklet. This second edition was published in celebration of South Windsor’s “sesquicentennial” anniversary, 1845-1995, and was dedicated to the memory of Gail Woodard, who passed away in 1994. The revised edition was compiled by Charles E. Woodward in September, 1995, with the assitance of Doris Burgdorf who provided many historical corrections.
