(August 27, 2023, 11:38 pm)This tiny museum is located just outside main Tobermory.
It's steeped in history and dates back nearly 200 years.
There is no admission fee but they look forward to donations.
Basically it is 2 small buildings - one is the old school and the other is the log cabin they stayed in.
Note that the log cabin was situated in main Tobermory ( on rent i believe )but was relocated when the landlord wanted his property back.
It was brought to the current address and reconstructEd- nearly 50 years back.
The main school building is full of relics and stuff you probably have never seen.
It was actually a school back in the day - there is a bell outside which was rung to call kids into school.
You need to go and see the history in that building as it's hard to explain.
Old attendance registers along with cursive hand writing sheets are there for all to see.
Not sure if they have heritage status as yet but seriously think that the appropriate authorities need to look into.
The 2 ladies there were really knowledgeable and friendly - go see the appliances they have and how Canada managed back then.
Parking is available on site and its free.
We need to understand and appreciate the resilience of people from that age - how they learnt and adapted to the times.
For example back then no corporates made butter - it was made in house using age old appliances and techniques.
See the pictures I have posted and you will understand. -
