[1] The Eureka Schoolhouse stands between Vermont Route 11 (to the south) and the Black River to the north, in the dispersed rural setting of Goulds Mill, southeast of the Springfield's main village center.

It is a small single-story structure, built out of hand-hewn timbers and covered by a wooden shingle roof.

Its walls are finished in rough-cut wooden boards, scored to resemble cut stone.

It stood vacant and abandoned for many years, and was carefully disassembled by preservationists and stored in 1958.

[3] In 1968, it was reassembled to its original configuration (as best it could be determined from extant records) at the present site, which also includes the relocated Baltimore Covered Bridge.
