1904 Spicer School House
This one room school house was built in 1904, a
1/2 mile north of Hickory Corners, which is about
21km southeast of the museum. It was named after
the Spicer family, who contributed many of its first
students. It is furnished with many of its original
desks, chalk booards, books and the original Union
Jack flag. The smallest shildren sat in the small
desks at the front, and the larger students at the
back. One teacher might have 8 different grades
to teach. The school was the first large building
to be moved to the museum in 1971.
