German Mills Community Centre (former German Mills Schoolhouse)

This single-storey board-and-batten one-room schoolhouse was Public School S.S. No. 2 and the focal point for the early German Mills settlement. It’s set back from the main road on the schoolhouse’s original lot and surrounded by lawn and rows of spruce trees planted in the late 1890s. The school was closed in 1962 and is today a local community centre.
