Listing Description:
The Cape George Heritage School Museum is located in Antigonish, Nova Scotia and is a one-room schoolhouse that was built in 1925. It served the local community until it was closed in 1967, and is now open as a community museum that showcases the life at Cape George. The museum reflects on farm living, fishing, school life and the community in general.
This museum is rich in local history and has many photographs and genealogical information available. It was initially established to showcase the items that were relevant to life at Cape George, its people, and how they lived. Over time, it has expanded to include the documentation, preservation, and sharing of family histories.
In 1999, the community came together to renovate and restore the school, adding a basement, a washroom, and a small kitchen through the hard work of many. The museum now serves the community during summer months and is available for small functions and events. It’s not just history; it is a symbol of the community!
