How to become a docent for the Little Red School House

The Norwalk Historical Society is inviting all local history lovers to a program highlighting how to become a docent in 2018. These informational sessions will highlight the important role that a docent plays in making history come alive for students and visitors.

The Little Red Schoolhouse Program has been enriching the lives of Norwalk's 3rd graders for over 35 years! In the early 1970s, Norwalk’s historic one-room school house known as the 1826 “Downtown District School House” was threatened by demolition to make way for progress, the Connecticut Turnpike. The Norwalk Historical Society acted quickly to save and move the School House to Mill Hill Historic Park in 1971, and the rest is history!

For over 40 years, Norwalk’s third grade school children have participated in the “Little Red School House” program at Mill Hill Historic Park. This unique educational program presents the early history of Norwalk in an exciting and engaging format that complements the 3rd grade history curriculum. Hundreds of school children visit Mill Hill each year for this program.
