Little Red Schoolhouse

The schoolhouse originally was opened in 1922 to provide education to the youth of the Old Harry village. Located on the island of Grosse-Île, it was and remains the cradle of the English-speaking community on the Magdalen Islands.

Now part of the Old Harry Heritage Site, the schoolhouse retains its historical atmosphere, transporting you back to the beginning of the 20th century. By browsing through the permanent exhibition, you will learn more about the specificities of the island way of life as well as the realities faced by the English-speaking community of the Magdalen Islands, past and present.
