Blakeney, Pakenham, Almonte Ontario



I drove from Almonte to Pakenham stopping in to visit Marilyn Snedden and take a tour with her.

Marilyn's home is is about half way to Pakenham. She lives in her family farm house.


Next on this tour is the old one-room schoolhouse.

The Cedar Hill Schoolhouse is where Maggie attended school between arriving in Canada in 1901 and leaving for Saskatchewan in 1908. 

You can see a bit more about the schoolhouse here:





This is an old barn on the side of the road.

The area where Maggie lived is very beautiful farmland and I'm sure it hasn't changed much in the last 100 years since she left there.
Next on the tour is Blakeney and Pakenham.
