U. S. S. #11 - Heidelberg - Wellesley and Woolwich Township

The first school was built in Heidelberg in about 1832. This school served until 1865 when a new school was built on the site of the present school.  This school served students from nearby Woolwich township as well. 

In 1911, the trustees of  U.S.S. #11 and the rate payers decided to build a new school. The two-room school was completed that year. A third room was added in 1955.

The school is now used by the Heidelberg Bible Fellowship.
