The Schoolhouse Museum
Attendees at the October, 2021 Women’s Guild Meeting were treated to a tour of the Schoolhouse Museum which is part of the campus of Old Paramus Reformed Church. The museum is a treasure that is probably unknown to many of the passersby who drive along Glen Avenue each day. It is not open to the public on a regular basis but is available for touring upon request.
The tour was guided by Vicky Herbert, Vice President and Curator, and Dacey Latham, Collection Manager. They gave an overview of the history of the Museum, which was a one room schoolhouse in the 1800s. The exhibits change on a regular basis. Many items are stored in the attic and other places and brought out as the exhibits change. Those attending were free to view all the exhibits and ask questions about them.
