This historic schoolhouse is like a step back in time! Active from 1887 to 1964, it has many character defining elements that express the heritage of the red brick gem. The society invites visitors to come aboard for a summer cruise at the Red Brick School and experience the Historical Rideau Canal through a multi-panel display of remastered photos. Stay tuned! 

Be sure to view the WWI Elgin Platoon exhibit, as well as wall displays, gardens, benches and of course the historic architecture! Look for yellow brick quoins above the windows, three tall multi-paned windows on the north façade, stone window sills, wood frame dormers about the doors and an enchanting roof line and brick gables above the windows – with a stone label under the central one, inscribed, “school”. A truly unique learning atmosphere!
