Early settlers thought education was important, though many children could only attend school in winter when they were not needed to work on the farm. As settlements were planned, land was set aside at crossroads for churches and schools. The schoolhouse was usually the first building constructed in the pioneer community. The smallest settlements were served by itinerant teachers who would travel from village to village, teaching at each for a few months.

The schoolhouse served as the centre for the community and was used for meetings and church services until more elaborate structures were built. This model represents one of the earliest log school houses in Upper Canada (now Ontario).
