Friday, Janet Nixon,Janet Rhody, Marilyn Reid and Fran Farrell visited the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre in Southampton and welcomed visitors to the log house and schoolhouse both built around 1855 and 1875. The log house originally came from Kinloss Township near Holyrood and was built by Donald MacKenzie. He and his wife, Margaret, raised a family of nine in this house. In 1958, the Bruce County Women’s Institute bought the house and had it moved to the museum. The Schoolhouse, S.S. No. 10 Amabel, was also called the Richardson School and Maple Grove School. The school was purchased as a Centennial project, by Bruce County’s elementary school teachers in 1967. After serving as a school, the building was used as a family dwelling, a chicken house and finally a slaughter house. We are fortunate that these buildings have been reconstructed and are on display for visitors to see and experience early days in our county.
