Skinners Pond Harbour & Beach and Stompin' Tom Connors Schoolhouse

     I was out for a drive along the North Cape Coastal Drive ( Route 14 ) yesterday afternoon.  Here's a few photos I took of the Stompin' Tom Connors Schoolhouse.

     Stompin' Tom was a well-known Canadian folk singer in the 1960's to his death in 2013 and lives on.   In 1973 he renovated the old schoolhouse he attended to display his memorabilia and opened it to the public.  In the first photo I believe the house Stompin' Tom lived in as a boy is immediately to the right of the school.
     Check-out my blog post of March 22, 2013 following his death.  http://peiheritagebuildings.blogspot.ca/2013/03/skinners-pond-and-stompin-tom-connors.html

     The schoolhouse is located at the corner of Rte. 14 and Stompin' Tom Connor's Road.   If you're in the area be sure to take a drive down to the harbour and beach - some say the best beach on Prince Edward Island.

Spring Daffodils are up

     I was happy to see the spring daffodils yesterday!  

     The daffodils are under the flag pole - the rock makes the place where we buried a Family Time Capsule in 2000 to be opened in 2050.  

     Below is a photo of the event.  The capsule was placed in the ground by Stephen G. Jeffery, great-great-great grandson of Stephen E. Jeffery who settled the homestead in 1860.
