SHELTON - On June 11, Shelton Historical Society will be
among many attractions across the state participating in Connecticut Open House Day at its complex at the Shelton History Center, 70 Ripton Road.
From 11 a.m.-3 p.m., guests will enjoy celebrating
“School’s Out!” at the Trap Falls School, a one-room school similar to many that were once in operation in rural Connecticut.
Visitors will enjoy games and goodies in an environment that invites them to discover how it felt to spend an entire school career in one room with students of all ages
Follow a map to complete chores and challenges in several places-in addition to the school-throughout the one-acre complex.
Those who complete the tasks will have an opportunity to
enter a drawing that will be held the following week during
the Society’s Vintage Vehicles Antique & Classic Car Show.
This event is free and open to the public.
