History

This colonial-era schoolhouse was built in 1856 to provide education for Hudson Bay employees and their children. This manor and school acted as a community focal point in the Craigflower Farm area for an entire century until Canada designated it as a Natural Historic site in 1975.

Today, this manor schoolhouse is open to the public as a cultural exhibit, museum, and protected heritage site of Canadian history.
