Built around 1850, Canterbury‘s Center District School, on Canterbury Green, was a one-room schoolhouse, in use until 1947, although some kindergarten classes were held there in the 1950s. The building, also known as the Green Schoolhouse, was later used as the town’s library and, since 2002, has been restored by volunteers and furnished as an early 20th century district school.
