The South Lake School House at Lang Pioneer Village Museum was built in 1886 by settlers in South Lake Settlement, Belmont Township. When it first opened, 40 students attended the school and were taught by Miss Maggie Mahood who remained teaching at the South Lake School for 20 years. The school closed in 1958 and was later moved to Lang Pioneer Village Museum where it has been restored to represent a one-room school house circa 1890.

At Lang Pioneer Village Museum, each day history is brought to life in an engaging way as you are welcomed into the 30 restored and recreated homes and businesses in the picturesque village. Costumed interpreters tell the pioneer story as they demonstrate traditional chores, trades and pastimes. See one of only a handful authentic Jacquard looms in North America, discover the authentic experience of the First Nations at Aabnaabin Camp, explore a working 170-year old Grist Mill and so much more. Experience the sights, sounds and interpretations of life in the 1800s! The Museum is open daily Father’s Day to Labour Day and seasonally for special events, rentals and education programs.
