One of many single room schools located in Prince Edward County. This school, built in 1904, originally stood on Victoria Road, about 8 miles from its current location.
It was donated and moved to the Ameliasburgh Pioneer Village/Museum in 2008. It has been preserved both inside and out. The interior features a typical classroom set-up from the early 20th century.
During the summer months museum docents in period costume give history behind the school.
