The Wilson's Mill school which was build about 1897. In that year the school wagon plan was adopted and many small schools were closed. This building stood opposite Wilson's Mill, so it would have been on the west side of Congress St. across from the Hi-Ho Motel (1977) on the Merritt Parkway.
Children and oxen pictured outside the home of Isaac Milbank, a gunsmith, and his wife Mary Nichols Milbank. The house on Bronson Road (at the corner of Old Academy) in Greenfield Hill was built in the 1880s, on the site of an eighteenth-century homestead. Isaac’s brick workshop was in the rear. The house was later purchased by Greenfield Hill Congregational Church and used for church school and other activities.
