Along The Grand River ~ 
Roads Less Travelled ~

Designated as a Heritage Site, Gypsum Mines Schoolhouse is now privately owned.

This stately one-room structure is located on Haldimand Road #17, east of Cayuga.
A flourishing mining industry existed during the 1840s, three miles south of Cayuga.  A post office, about fifteen houses and a school were built to accomodate the company workers.
