Founded in 1845 on a farmstead on Cream Hill Road in northern Cornwall, Connecticut, it operated until 1869.

In additions to more modern farm trappings, much of its historic educational complex survives.

This two-story flat-roofed structure was enlarged in 1850 with a similar section topped by a square turret.

[2] The school was founded in 1845 by T. S. Gold and his father Samuel, on land they owned and farmed.

Cream Hill's curriculum was focused on agriculture, teaching soil types, agricultural practices, horticulture, and surveying, but also taught arts and other subjects conventionally taught at secondary schools.
