first public school in the united states. in dorchester, ma the first
public elementary school in the united states is the mather school.
it is located at meeting house hill.
there are (2) schools at this location, along with the first church, and i believe the first fire station. i think the older school was named edward southworth school. i attended this school with the hardwood floors, and. giant wooden doors. i hope this school still excists with the shining, but worn down paths in the floors. it should remain as a
museum. the church has been burned once to the ground and again just partially burnt. it has always been restored back to its original structure. if you are ever in the neighborhood take the time
to see the beautiful history there.
another thing swing by and see the strand theatre that at one time it was restored to its original state.
this theatre was elligant to the likes of lauren becall and humphrey bogart. read more
