Schools

• Between 1858 and 1888, children from Wellington village attended the school at Goodwin’s Corner;
• In 1888, John Barlow, at his own expense, had a new school built in the village; he furnished it and paid to hire a teacher;
• The school stood on the southwest corner of the intersection of Sunset Drive and Commercial Street;
• Acadian and English students attended the same school until 1946 when the French school opened on land now occupied by Le Chez-Nous; and
• Both village schools closed in the early 1970s due to provincial school consolidation.
