Bell's School was built in 1874 and destroyed in 1963.

Written on the plaque:

This site was turned over to the N.P.C.A. in 1983 by the township of Glanbrook,
to be used as a parking lot for the users of Lake Niapenco and surrounding
conservation area.

This was the location of Bell's School serving S.S. No. 4 Glanford from 1874 to
1963. The land was obtained from the Bell family and so named "Bell's" School.
This brick school was built after a fire destroyed the original log school
which stood directly across the road on the Weylie property. The log
school served early settlers in the area as well as families of the shingle
factory employees on lot 12, conc. 7, near the Chippewa Creek.
