Skinner's Pond and Stompin' Tom Connors

     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 renovated the old schoolhouse in 1973 to display alot of 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.
     Check-out my blog post of March 22, 2013 following his death.  http://peiheritagebuildings.blogspot.ca/2013/03/skinners-pond-and-stompin-tom-connors.html     
 Above: the southeast corner / Below: the front / northeast side.
     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.
