Over the past winter the Knutsford W.I. have been doing upgrades to the 140+ year old schoolhouse which today is used as a community hall.
A couple of years ago history panels are prepared to tell the story of Knutsford...here's photos I took of them last Sunday. Another panel is being prepared to tell the story of our great-great-grandfather Capt. John Silliker, who along with his bother and others cut the O'Leary Road through to Knutsford about 1855 and were amount the earlier settlers of the area. The Sillikers had 600-acres and donated the lumber and land to build the Methodist Church, with cemetery, and the School.
