Geocache Description:

This cache brings you to one of Goffstown's 16 original one room school houses, and it is named "The Pattee School" and was located in District # 10 in Goffstown, NH. It is located on the corner of Route 13 North (Pattee Hill Road) and Snook Road.

We'll share some of the history of this school, as well.




There were 16 schoolhouses in Goffstown in the 19th century and some were still in use in the 20th century. Today nine schoolhouses are being used as residences, two are still schoolhouses, two are lost, one was burned down and two were annexed to Manchester.

Pattee Hill District No. 10

Pattee Hill school is located on the corner of Route 13 north (Pattee Hill Road) and Snook Road. This district was in existence in 1831 and it was on the Town Treasurer's report for that year. A new school was built in 1883 and it is still on its original site. The windows are boarded and the schoolhouse stands empty and alone on a slight hill next to the road.


The CACHE: The container is located near the edge of the road, so PLEASE do NOT enter the property.  It is a micro container and is winter friendly. BYOP, as it is too small to contain a pen.
