The Gunnery, a co-ed boarding and day school for students in grades 9-12 and a post-graduate year, was founded in 1850 by Frederick Gunn. Mr. Gunn took a principled stand against slavery and spurred students (and the town at large) to examine their beliefs. He also had a deep appreciation for the natural world, believing that students understand themselves as humans and their place in the world in nature.
