Mossbank & District Museum Inc., the Schoolhouse, the Blacksmith Shop, & Ambroz House

The heritage value of the Schoolhouse lies in its exemplification of a one-room country school. The Schoolhouse was built in 1921 for the Johnson Lake School Division No. 3261. The interior of the school is simply finished in typical tongue-and-groove cladding with a blackboard serving as the focal point of the room. After being sold to the Rural Municipality in 1943, the schoolhouse was moved to Mossbank and served as the RM office until 1979.

This property is also of heritage value for its representation of an early twentieth century blacksmith shop. Built in 1920, the shop is the oldest fully furnished blacksmith shop on its original location in Saskatchewan. The intact shop, with its false fronted, boomtown façade and metal cladding, was purchased by Polish immigrant, Frank Ambroz in 1928 and functioned continuously as a blacksmith shop until Ambroz died in 1986. During this time Ambroz shoed horses, fabricated and repaired farm machinery and transportation equipment, and crafted items for the nearby Royal Canadian Air Force base during the Second World War. With its impressive collection of artifacts, the shop offers a rare insight to the blacksmithing trade in the province.

The property is also significant for the inclusion of the adjacent Ambroz House. Frank and Mary Ambroz purchased the three room cottage from Imperial Lumber yard in about 1940 and moved it into Mossbank from the country. The yard is landscaped using regional Claybank brick. Mary occupied the house until about 1990.
