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.

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.
