DATE FOUNDED:
1990

MISSION:
A volunteer heritage committee (comité du patrimoine) was formed in 1990 following the centennial celebrations in the parish of Sainte-Sabine. Several projects relating to local heritage have since been undertaken, the most prominent of which has been the restoration of the old one-room schoolhouse ("école de rang") on Campbell Road, south of the village.














PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
The School-Museum: An earlier French Catholic schoolhouse located on an adjacent property was transported to the location of the present school in 1885. That school burned to the ground in 1891. The current 1½ storey clapboard schoolhouse was built shortly after that disastrous fire and served as a place of learning until 1958, when a large central school was built in the village. The old school was converted to a storage shed and fell into disrepair. Since 1993, the building has been completely restored and now serves as a small museum.

COLLECTIONS:
Artifacts pertaining to rural education.
