The Redstone School is a one-room school located in Sudbury, Massachusetts.[1] Built in 1798, it is believed to be the school to which Mary Sawyer took her lamb in the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb".[2][3]
At the time of Sawyer's attendance at the school, it was located in Sterling, Massachusetts. The property was later purchased by Henry Ford[4] and relocated around 20 miles (32 km) to the east, to a churchyard, on the property of Longfellow's Wayside Inn, where it stands today.[2] Ford operated the school for the benefit of children of his employees at the Wayside Inn.[5]
After closing in 1927, prior to its move, the school reopened for a further twenty-four years, with an average of around sixteen students of grades one through four.[5] It closed permanently in 1951.[2][5]
The school has windows on the right-hand side and at the rear; its blackboard occupies the interior of the left-hand wall.
