For decades now, the former school has hosted the Marvelville Community Centre. The lawn is used as part of a local Happy Tails Canine Training academy.
Across the creek from this site, a log school house dated back to 1847. This school section has always been unique, serving households in two different townships (Russell and Osgoode) in two different counties (Russell and Carleton).
Hockey great Larry Robinson once attended school here. Apparently, some Larry Robinson memorabilia is stored in the locked building.
