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.
