Valeur patrimoniale

The heritage value of McKay School No. 135 is its association with the development of the community. This one room brick school house was constructed in 1904 to replace a smaller log schoolhouse the community had outgrown. For the next 46 years the area’s children were educated in this building. Although the school closed in 1951, the building continued to be used as a community centre by providing meeting space for local clubs and hosting dances. Constructed using locally manufactured brick, the building continues to be a landmark in the community.
