Short History of our Museum

The Frontenac County Schools Museum began as a project to celebrate Kingston's Tercentenary in 1973 (Kingston, Ontario, Canada). a small group of retired educators spent many hours researching schools, photographing sites, collecting books and artifacts, and microfilming hundreds of school records.

In 1977, the Museum Association was formally established and by late 1979 the museum was ready to open to the public in Sydenham Public School in the center of Kingston. In 1993 it relocated to Robert Meek Public School but the school was sold in 2000 and the museum was forced into storage.

In 2006, it moved to its present location in historic Barriefield Village and in December hosted an opening Christmas Tea for members and guests.
