Amanda Brown Schoolhouse


Once a wing of a house near the Orient Village Cemetery—across from the current Oysterponds Elementary School—this small building was used as a private school taught by Miss Amanda Brown beginning in 1862. Later, the main house to which the school was joined was moved and this remaining section served as a tea room and gift shop. The schoolhouse was moved from the grounds of the Orient Point Inn, where it had been located since 1939, to the OHS site in 1971.
