The East Windsor Academy, now known as the Scantic Academy-East Windsor Historical Society Museum, is a historic school building at 115 Scantic Road in East Windsor, Connecticut. It is a two-story brick building with a gable roof and a brownstone foundation. It was built in 1817 as a private academy, a role it served until 1871, when the building was sold to the First Congregational Church for use as a parish hall. In 1896 the building again became a school, which eventually became a public school. This period of use closed in 1938, and it was later converted to apartments before being given to the local historical society. The Federal era school building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[2]
