The Frontenac County Schools Museum began as a project to celebrate Kingston’s Tercentenary in 1973. A small group of retired educators spent many hours researching and photographing schools and school sites, collecting books and artefacts, and microfilming hundreds of school records. In 1977 the Museum Association was formally established, and by late 1979, the museum was ready to be unveiled to the public. In 1993, the museum re-opened in a new site at Robert Meek Public School. However, when RMPS closed, the museum was forced to pack up for a few years before coming to its current home in Barriefield in 2005.
