    Cobblestone School District #7 was located on the Sandy Creek-Ellisburg Road southwest of the village of Mannsville in the town of Ellisburg. It was the only known cobblestone building in Jefferson County. The district was merged with Mansville Central School District about 1930 and the building was subsequently demolished.
