E It's a sunny Sunday after- noon and the family piles into the car for an excursion into the countryside. Where do they go? One suggestion is the Brocksden School Museum in North Easthope Township, just outside of Stratford. The museum, the.. Idest school- house in Perth County, is a former one -room building that has not been turned into living quarters as many others have. In the late 60s, the one - room schoolhouses that dot- ted rural Ontario were sold to private owners to make way for the central schools oper- ated by the then newly established county school boards. But in North Easthope Township, citizens wanted to keep the one -room school- house in its original form. They kept it that way and the museum officially opened on July 6, 1969. The North Easthope His- torical Society operates the museum with the guidance of Perth County Archivist Jim Anderson. Under his direc- tion the Brocksden school has retained its original exterior of boards and battens painted grey with black trim. Built in 1853 for 100 pounds, the school is contin- ually being renovated both inside and out. The interior of the building brings back many memories of days spent in school.
