Article 12: Relocation of the Mashpee One Room Schoolhouse. Submitted by: Community Preservation Committee. Article 12 seeks the approval to appropriate $35,500 in Community Preservation funds to re- locate the restored Mashpee One-Room Schoolhouse, built around 1831 and listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings, from its present location adjacent to the Old Indian Meeting House on Meetinghouse Road. The Mashpee One-Room Schoolhouse Preservation Council (Frank Lord, Chairman) has received unanimous Board of Selectmen approval to relocate the building to a site near the Town Archives building across from the Town Hall. The expectation is that re-locating the school to this area will allow for the preservation of the building as an historic monument and will further promote awareness of Mashpee's cultural heritage, since the Indian Museum, the Veteran's Memorial and the herring run are all in the immediate area as well. u THE FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TOWN MEETING APPROVAL OF ARTICLE 12.
