Description

The Wilson MacDonald Memorial School Museum is dedicated to preserving the history of rural education, the heritage of the surrounding community, and the memory of poet Wilson Pugsley MacDonald.

Step into a classroom of 1925... when the Union Jack waved over the schoolhouse... classes started with "God Save the King"... and penmanship was practiced using straight pens and black ink.

Lyric poet Wilson Pugsley MacDonald (1880 - 1967) was born in nearby Cheapside and published works, including "Out of the Wilderness", and a "Flagon of Beauty."
