Calder School restoration continues at Sunnybrook Farm Museum
After being moved to Sunnybrook Farm Museum in 2008, the Calder School building will finally see its makeover completed this year.
Ian Warwick, executive director at Sunnybrook Farm Museum, said it is exciting to have the project nearly coming to fruition and that Red Deerians are invited to come out and see the new building at the beginning of the 2018 season.
The Calder School building completion precludes the shift of the entrance moving from the North of the farm on 30th street to the South off of Botterill Crescent.
Warwick said the building will not only house the offices for the full-time staff, but will also maintain the history of the one-room schoolhouse. “It will tell the story of the one-room school and its importance in the region for educating kids.”
