Information

The tiny stone building situated on this property, is all that remains of the large two storey, eight room Waterdown Public and High School that opened in 1853. The first Entrance Exams taken in Ontario were written in this building in 1873. When the building became over-crowded and in poor repair, a new Public School was erected on Mill Street North and the property was purchased by W. O. Sealey, Reeve of East Flamborough, who deeded it to the village as a park. Today the building is used by many community groups.
