SS #14 1 ROOM SCHOOL

This building was built in the late 1870's and originally located on lot 12E, Con. 9, Enniskillen Township. It was moved in the early 1900's to lot 16, Con. 9. In the late 1950's the trustees were faced with a dilemma familiar to all rural schools - falling enrollment. Hard economic facts had to be faced. Central schools were built and students were bused to these new halls of education. By 1968 all one-room schools in the township were closed and an era had come to an end. In 1994, the Township of Enniskillen, who had purchased the building for storage purposes, donated the structure to The Petrolia Discovery, and in the fall of 1995 it was moved onto its present location.
