The restored red schoolhouse, located since 1900 atop the hill in back of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, is over 200 years old and served as a school from 1750 to 1799. During these years it was located on the green at the junction of Main Street and Norwich Road in East Haddam. In 1800 it was moved north on Main Street and located just in front of the present Nursery School building, where it remained until 1899 as a private residence for Captain Elijah Attwood and his descendants. On April 26, 1899 Judge Julius Attwood presented the schoolhouse to Colonel Richard Henry Greene of New York, in trust, to be turned over to the Connecticut Sons of the Revolution. On July 26, 1974 the Connecticut Sons of the Revolution deeded the 8 acres and the building to the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution who maintain it to this day. It has been authentically furnished by the Daughters of the American Revolution, with desks, tools and tables popular during the mid-seventeen hundreds.
The Nathan Hale School House in East Haddam is owned and operated by the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
