Geocache Description:

Mossgiel School District # 602 was in operation from 1889 until 1965. There is a large parking area here so bring all your caching friends!


Originally part of the county of Dennis, this area becme the Municipality of Wallace in 1884. In 1889, McGregor School was built on this site, named after Duncan McGregor who donated the land. It officially became known as Mossgiel Protestant School. In 1916, the original 25 foot by 18 foot building burnt and was replaced by a 30 foot by 22 foot red brick building and a 8 foot by 10 foot wood shed for a total cost of $1880. The school was a gathering point for the community. It held meetings, dances, chruch services and served as a polling station. In 1965, Mossgiel School District voted to consolidate with Elkhorn and the school was closed. This was also a corner of the Trans Canada hiway for almost 40 years. This hide contains a log only, bring your own pen.
