History

Located at what was once known as Mount's Corner, the school was built in 1847 on land purchased for $25.00.  Once part of the Rulif R. Schanck Farmstead, now the Oakley Farm (Museum - also known as The Hartshorne, Combs Walker Farm and listed on National Register).  It operated until 1937 when schools in Freehold Township were consolidated and moved into the West Freehold School.

“The kids walk through these doors and are transformed. They want to learn about the history of a place like this. I think if we try to keep history like this to ourselves, we’re doing these children a terrible disservice”
