The Chesterford Schoolhouse, constructed ca. 1811, is well-preserved and one of the few early 19th century schools still standing in New Jersey. Overall, the building is in fair condition.
The grant helped fund the preparation of a National Register Nomination, completion of a preservation plan, and construction documents. The project also investigated accessibility alternatives.
