One of the first buildings on Main Street was the Little Red Schoolhouse located at 415 West Main Street.  In December of 1811 Joseph Burrough, for the sum of one dollar "for the natural love of literature and divers other causes", deeded the lot containing "two roods and two perches", on which he had built a one room brick school house, to Samuel D. Rudderow, Thomas Rudderow, William Rudderow, Joseph Burrough, Isaac Stiles, William Stiles and Emanuel Beaggary, all of the County of Burlington, and John Osler, Joseph Plum, Samuel Burrough and Reuben Burrough of Gloucester, now Camden County, and "to their heirs and assigns as a school lot and for no other purpose."

Children came to the Little Red Schoolhouse from beyond Haddonfield Road and as far away as Forklanding Bridge.  In 1871 the Little Red Schoolhouse became a free school under the jurisdiction of the state, county and local authority.  The Little Red Schoolhouse closed in 1909, having served 97 years.
