 | | Public schools in colonial Connecticut were operated by the Colony's official, established church, which we now call "Congregational." The legal institution which managed them was the ecclesiastical society. |
 | | In 1694, the General Court of the Connecticut Colony chartered an ecclesiastical society in the part of Hartford lying east of the "Great River," consisting of East Hartford and the area called the Five Miles, which later became Orford Parish and still later the Town of Manchester. |
 | | The Keeney Schoolhouse, at 106 Hartford Road, Manchester, Connecticut, is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. |
