The Eureka Schoolhouse is Vermont's oldest one-room schoolhouse and is one of the state's few surviving 18th century public buildings. Also on the grounds is the Baltimore Covered Bridge, a “Town Lattice Truss” type bridge, built in 1870.

Constructed between 1785 and 1790, the Eureka Schoolhouse has an unusual pine board exterior that is cut to resemble stone block. All grades were taught in the single room, with many students going on to colleges such as Dartmouth. The school closed in 1900. Restored in 1968, the schoolhouse is furnished with early schoolhouse memorabilia, including several desks dating from about 1800.

This historic site is owned and maintained by the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation and is operated as an area attraction by the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce.
