The Little Red Schoolhouse, at 33 Main St. in Boxford, is listed in the National Register and is the last remaining one -room schoolhouse in Boxford. But It has been closed since 1969 and used sporadically for storage.

Now, the Friends of the Little Red Schoolhouse, a nonprofit group that has worked to preserve the building, hope to gather a crowd to help them clean out the building. Eventually they hope rehabilitate the schoolhouse and have it used as a youth center that houses a permanent display of early education in Boxford.

Old stored items inside, such as desks and fixtures need to be removed. Even one hour of your time would be helpful, the Friends group reports. A Dumpster will be onsite.

More details are listed at the Friends Web site, www.boxfordschoolhouse.org, which is under construction.
