Mount Hanley Schoolhouse Museum, One-room schoolhouse museum in Mount Hanley, Annapolis County, Canada.
The Mount Hanley Schoolhouse Museum maintains original educational materials, period furniture, and teaching resources from its operational years as a rural school.
Built in 1850 to replace a log structure from 1784, this schoolhouse served the community until its closure in 1963 when rural schools consolidated.
Joshua Slocum, the first person to complete a solo sailing journey around the world, received his early education at this schoolhouse until 1854.
The museum opens during summer months through the Mount Hanley and District Schoolhouse Museum Society, which acquired the property from the Barteaux family in 2006.
Clara Belle Marshall, who studied at this school, later became the first woman to receive a degree from Acadia University in 1879.
