District 6

In 1901 the second story west was added and gable roofs were installed on both sides. From 1861 to 1897 a subscription high school was housed on the second floor. 1897 was the beginning of the public high school. As the school population grew the building became overcrowded. In 1909 the Wade Pasture School, which had been closed for approximately eight years was moved to the east side of the Village school to house the first through third grades. Both schools closed in 1973 when the “New” High School was build off Barrows Road, which was once part of District 2. In 2020 the Village School houses the Stowe Free Library and the Helen Day Art Center and the Wade Pasture Schoolhouse is the Bloody Brook One Room Schoolhouse Museum. Also on the Cultural Campus is the West Branch School home of the Stowe Historical Society’s research space and museum.
