This One-Room School House is located at the Norwich and District Museum in Norwich, Ontario. Pioneer Peter Lossing originally taught in his own house before his step-son, William Hulet, became a teacher himself and opened the school in 1812 to 15 children.

Currently the building is in decay with the doors and windows boarded up. It is to be restored by the Norwich and District Historical Society in the future.
