History: This property has historical value for its strong associations with the Palermo School and the community of Palermo which it served for several decades. The building is a significant reminder of the educational system in early 20th century small towns and rural Trafalgar Township. The current schoolhouse, the third on the site, was built in 1942 after a lightning storm damaged the previous schoolhouse in the early 1940s. Some of the materials of the second schoolhouse were used in the construction of the existing building, including the cornerstone. After the school’s closure in the 1960s, the school was used by the Trafalgar Police Department, the Town of Oakville Planning Department, and finally the Oakville Players.
