Newton Academy Association - Compact 1811 |
|
On October 8, 1811, a compact was instituted whereby the following members of the Newton Academy Association received ownership of the academy building from the Town of Shoreham. The building, constructed in 1810, sits on town property. The selectmen of Shoreham didn't want to retain responsibility of upkeep of the academy building and thus conveyed ownership to this association. |
