The first Meadtown School was built in 1839 in the fields below Wilton Mead's house. It served the community until 1873 when a larger, more modern school was built on the property now known as L'Ecole, Kinnelon Museum. This new school's single room held approximately 40 to 50 pupils. The Meadtown School served the children of the community until 1925, when a new, two-room school built of native stone was constructed. The Meadtown School was also used as a meeting place, including the first organizational meeting of the Borough of Kinnelon. Sunday school classes were also held there.
