Corolla Schoolhouse
C. 1900
Restoration began in the fall of 1999, revealing wonderful insights into life in this isolated coastal village.
Upon raising the building to repair rotten sills, workers discovered ship timbers in the foundation that were salvaged from shipwrecks on the beach.
Underneath the steeple was found a century-old collection of stones and other objects from the schoolyard. The old bell was badly deteriorated, so a new one was installed. Once again a bell tolls in this village to celebrate great occasions.
Marker is at the intersection of Schoolhouse lane and Corolla Village Road, on the left when traveling west on Schoolhouse lane.
