A by-law passed on December 18, 1865 formed this school section by taking portions
of S.S. No.6 to the east and S.S. No.7 to the west. The school site was at the
north-west corner of Lot 27, Concession 4. A brick building costing $960.00 was
erected in 1866 and was the only school house at this location. In June 1965,
the school closed and was later renovated, becoming the Ellsworth Hall in 1967,
for community functions. Ellsworth
Hall was then closed in 1992. The building was donated by the Township of Wainfleet
and moved in March, 1994 to the Marshville Heritage Village.
