Wallington Cobblestone Schoolhouse

The Wallington Cobblestone School committee wishes to thank the Sodus Chamber of Commerce for including their school on their mural. In 1826, work started on a cobblestone schoolhouse in Wallington which would replace a log structure which was built in 1809. It was built by William Swales, Sr. who constructed 12 other cobblestone buildings in the Sodus area including the Maxwell Creek Inn Bed and Breakfast cobblestone house. One of 23 schoolhouses which eventually served the Sodus area, the Wallington schoolhouse was used for 125 years until the schools were centralized into larger buildings which could house greater numbers of students. It is the only one which is still used for its original purpose.

Trail of Hope

The Trail of Hope – part of Trail Works’ Forever Wild for Everyone project – is handicap accessible and open to people of all ages and abilities.
