1. Schoolhouse Marker
This small log school house is a representation of a one room school described in author Ralph Connor's Glengarry School Days. In Upper Canada, many rural common schools built during the 19th century up to the 1860s were made of logs and provided a basic education free to all children. Some materials from an old Glengarry school building in Kenyon Township were used in its construction at Upper Canada Village in 1959.
Cette petite école en bois rond est une représentation d'une école à classe unique décrite dans Glengarry School Days par l'auteur Ralph Connor. Au Haut- Canada, de nombreuses écoles primaires rurales bâties pendant le 19 siècle jusqu'aux années 1860 étaient faites en bois rond et fournissaient une éducation de base gratuite à tous les enfants. Des matériaux d'une ancienne école du canton de Kenyon dans le compté de Glengarry ont été utilisés dans sa construction à Upper Canada Village en 1959.
