This historic one room school house, sits on a quiet country road in the community of Markam Ontario. The building is now used periodically as the local Cedar Grove Community Centre.

From a notation in the historical records, "About 1850, a frame school building was constructed on the north side of 14th Ave., east of 10th Line to accommodate the growing community of Cedar Grove. In 1869, this building was replaced by a red brick school across the south side of 14th Ave. "Cedar Grove school was unique ... in having a gallery where in winter any adult could come and get a bit of learning by listening to the classes below."
