Near-century-old Innisfail area school being restored at Sunnybrook Farm
A new feature is coming to the Sunnybrook Farm Museum.
Phase three of the museum’s south development project will take shape over the summer. It involves the restoration of the original 1932 Calder Corner School, which was moved to the museum site in 2008.
There will also be the construction of a new basement and patio space, as well as a 600 sq.ft. addition for the museum to house offices and a food services kitchen in for special events.
“This is just part of our steady growth and development plan for the museum site, so everything north of the steel barn is part of Norman [Bower’s] original farm and the Bower farmstead, which was established in 1899,” says Executive Director Ian Warwick.
