New Edinburg's First School
This stone building was erected c. 1837. James Fraser taught reading and elocution, French, writing, arithmetic, English grammar and geography in this school from June 25, 1838 until about 1843 to the children of the little industrial community of New Edinburgh. The building reverted to a working man's double residence in 1844. It was acquired by the National Capital Commission in 1959 and subsequently renovated.
