Roe Cobblestone Schoolhouse is a historic
one room school located at Butler in Wayne County, New York. The cobblestone building is a one-story, 28 feet long by 22 feet deep, three bay wide structure. It was built about 1820 and is constructed of irregularly shaped, multi-colored, field cobbles. It ceased to function as a school in 1932, used as a single family residence, and is now operated as a schoolhouse museum by the Butler Historical Society, which also operates the Butler Church Museum
. Both museums are open on the first Saturday of the month from May through October.
The structure is among the approximately 170 surviving cobblestone buildings in Wayne County.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
