Little Red School House at Wallingford Rotary Club
About Us
The cherished “Little Red Schoolhouse” was built in the town where Paul Harris grew up and learned some of the most important values of his lifetime, Wallingford Vermont. Those values now form the basis of the worldwide service organization he established.
In 1818 the great-grandfather of Paul Harris, Founder of Rotary International, built “The Old Chapel Building.” In 1928 District 37 bought this historic building. In 1933 it was dedicated as “The Little Red Schoolhouse.” Paul Harris returned to Wallingford for the dedication ceremony.
Please help us by supporting this historical property, through your financial contribution. You may make a tax-deductible donation to purchase a brick or other item for the Paul Harris Memorial Garden. The Rotary District 7870 Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Our goal is to build an endowment to protect and preserve the Little Red Schoolhouse in Wallingford, Vermont, where Rotarians and friends of Rotary from around the world come to visit. We believe that this historic building in the town where Paul Harris gained the values that created Rotary International, is one of the most important historic Rotary landmarks. Rotarians are welcome to visit the Little Red School House by contacting Wallingford Rotary at wallingford.rotary.vt@gmail.com
