Friends of Limerick School

  • Our Mission

    To preserve Limerick School, one the area's last surviving one-room schoolhouses and promote its vital role in the history of the early settlements of the Town of Newstead and Western New York.

  • About Us

    Friends of Limerick Inc. is a non-profit incorporation seeking to save and restore a one-room school house known as Limerick School. The school served the district from the 1800's until 1957 when the school district centralized. The school then became the Limerick Hall where meetings were held by many groups such as 4-H clubs, union meetings, boy scouts, girl scouts and home bureau.

  • Our Vision

    We hope to restore the Limerick School to enable children to once again walk the hard wood floor, sit at the desks, write on the chalk board and experience what a day was like in a one-room schoolhouse. Allow visitors to visit the school and reminiscent about days when they went to school there. Finally, offer a child's museum and summer arts program for youth.
