Ardoch Schools

Section School (S.S.) #1

​

The original, a log school, was located on the east side of the Frontenac Road, where the hydro line crosses the road about a quarter of a mile south of Swamp Creek. It was in operation in 1867. In 1868, the teacher was Emily Knowlton. The log school was replaced in 1898 by a frame school about three quarters of a mile south of the original school and on the opposite side of the road. This school was built by Frank Gorr and is now a private residence. The original school was converted to a blacksmith shop by Wm Hermer and used for several years.

Section School (S.S.) #3

 

The original section school was a log school along the Frontenac Road about a mile south of Ardoch. It was operating in 1867, but no teacher was reported for 1868 and it was abandoned. A new frame school house was built on the Smith Road immediately west of the Frontenac Road and is now a private residence.
