Craigflower Schoolhouse

The Craigflower Schoolhouse is reputed to be the oldest surviving school building in western Canada, erected during the colonial era as part of the Craigflower Farm operated by the Hudson's Bay Company and converted into a museum as early as 1931. It sits at the edge of Victoria near the Gorge waterway and is recognized through Wikidata and Wikipedia as part of the 'Craigflower Manor and Schoolhouse' national historic site. Touring cyclists exploring Victoria's heritage corridor would encounter a rare pre-Confederation landmark whose history spans colonial schoolmasters, the Gold Rush era, and the early settlement of Vancouver Island.
